Jorge Posada says Yankees visits leave him feeling unwelcome

Jorge Posada doesn't feel welcomed by the Yankees #shorts
Joel Sherman imagines Jorge Posada standing alongside Aaron Boone, giving the Yankees a strong former-player presence. Posada's answer turns the conversation away from what he could offer and toward whether he would be wanted.
"I don't feel welcome when I go there," he says in the excerpt posted by New York Post Sports. That feeling extends to spring training visits. "I don't feel like they want me there, so I don't go."
For a player who spent his entire major-league career with the Yankees, it is a striking description of returning to his old team. Posada was part of the homegrown group known as the Core Four, alongside Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte, whose careers became closely associated with the club's championship years.
Asked why he feels that distance, Posada points back to a difficult final season and how both sides handled it. He says he wants to move forward, but returning brings those feelings back. He does not name anyone as the reason he feels unwelcome.
The Short reached about 23,000 views in nine hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for that format. Its comment section was more than thirty times as busy as a typical full first day, with viewers proposing coaching roles and recalling Posada's intensity as a player.
The full episode of The Show with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman also made an unusually fast start. There, the coaching question sits within a broader conversation about the Yankees' leadership and the problems Posada sees with the team.
