## Key points

- Posada says he does not feel welcome at the Yankees.
- He spent all 17 seasons of his career with New York.
- His difficult final season still shapes how he feels about returning.

## Summary

Jorge Posada says he does not feel welcome at the Yankees and believes the club does not want him around, despite a 17-year career with the team. His comments raise questions about how the organisation maintains ties with a celebrated former player whose number is retired.

Posada won five World Series titles and attended Yankee Stadium twice this season, including for Old Timers’ Day. His final season in 2011 was difficult: he had been moved from catcher to designated hitter and backup first baseman, and publicly objected to being placed ninth in the batting order. He said the Yankees did not offer him a contract after that season; he retired in January 2012, while denying that he has a problem with former manager Joe Girardi.
