Derek Jeter (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jeterde01.shtml?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker&utm_campaign=Linker)’s representatives are asking for at least $80MM more than the Yankees are willing to offer in negotiations for the free agent shortstop, according to Bill Madden of the New York Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2010/11/26/2010-11-26_jeters_price_is_high____it_is_far.html). The starting point for Jeter and agent Casey Close was six years and $150MM, according to Madden, who reports that the Jeter camp is not budging from demands for a $25MM annual salary. Alex Rodriguez (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodrial01.shtml?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker&utm_campaign=Linker)’s contract “is at the cruz of Jeter’s and Close’s stance,” according to Madden.
The Yankees have offered Jeter multiple deals (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/yankees-have-offered-jeter-multiple-deals.html), including one that would pay the 36-year-old $45MM over the course of the next three seasons (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/yankees-to-offer-jeter-45mm-for-three-years.html). Close suggested that the Yankees' tactics are "baffling," so Yankees GM Brian Cashman encouraged Jeter and his agent to test the free agent market (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/cashman-encourages-jeter-to-test-the-market.html) in search of a more generous deal.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/yankees/jeter_solution_kKIoiImbo7wuZfaR6RCteI) proposes that the Yankees could sign Jeter to a six-year $75MM deal that could become more lucrative if Jeter reaches incentives based on plate appearances. The suggested deal would pay Jeter $20MM per season from 2011-13 and shield the Yankees from the luxury tax.
I like the guy but dam he is not worth the money anymore and should not have gotten another glove award...
