MIAMI, Fla. – Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter released a statement Friday supporting MLB’s decision to move the all-star game from Atlanta.
The decision comes a little more than a week after the passage of S.B. 202, a Georgia law that President Joe Biden criticized earlier this week, saying that it will restrict voting access for residents of the state.
