Posada expresses rift with Yankees over painful career exit

Jorge Posada, a Yankees legend, shared feelings of unwelcomeness in the Yankees' clubhouse over a decade after his retirement. The former catcher, a five-time All-Star and four-time World Series champion, cited bitterness stemming from the end of his career with the team. Posada's comments suggest unresolved issues related to how the Yankees managed his exit after the 2011 season, marked by health setbacks. Posada, who last played for the Yankees in 2011, has since taken roles with the Miami Marlins and Team Italy but has rarely returned to Yankee Stadium, expressing doubts about his reception. His remarks highlight a significant personal disconnect despite his storied history with the franchise.
