Jeter & Yankees Are $80MM Apart (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/jeter-yankees-are-80mm-apart.html)

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...

Jeet is my favorite Yankee...dude's been with the team for almost 20 years (they drafted him in `92). I've been a Yankees fan since before he showed up, and I'll be one long after he's gone. I'm still sad, though.

Sidenote: polamalubeast, I love your sigpic :)

Jeter is still an outstanding SS and hitter, but he's on the down side of his career. That's peak of career type salary he's wanting. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised at all for the Yanks to give him the 150 mil.

I've been a Yankees fan aslong as I can remember . I dont see anything wrong with the 3 years $45M contract the brass wanted to give him . I know hes the face of the Yankees but he is getting older . He just came off a 10 year $189M contract and he's demandiing more ? I think Jeter is great--take the $15M a year for your last contract .
