Minute Media Is Buying Derek Jeter's The Players' Tribune

Deal is expected to be finalized by the end of 2019

In an editorial posted to The Players’ Tribune website this morning, former Yankees star Derek Jeter announced that Minute Media will be acquiring his 5-year-old web publication.

Since its inception, The Players’ Tribune has published more than 2,000 stories, many written by athletes, about issues as wide ranging as equal rights, incarceration, mental health and the bat flip.

“What Minute Media gives The Players’ Tribune is the ability to reach a wider audience on a global scale,” wrote Jeter, who is also a minority owner of the Miami Marlins and the team’s CEO.
