发帖数: 2356 | 1 The New York Yankees created this monster called Derek Jeter(notes). Though
he is one of the top shortstops of the era, he always has exuded intangible
qualities the Yankees love to heap on their best players.
Well, they did double and triple heaps with Jeter.
Yahoo! Sports' own Jeff Passan just wrote about this, his "Jeterness," and
how the Yankees will pony up for their thoroughbred in his first experience
as a free agent.
Only now, the Yankees are complaining because Jeter didn't take their first
offer.
ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews has a source "with ties to both the team
and the player" who says at least one person in the Yankees' front office
wants to play hardball with the Captain after he turned down $63 million
over three years:
"Tell him the deal is three years at $15 million a year, take it or leave it
," the person taking the hard-line approach said. "Wait him out and he'll
wind up taking it. Where's he gonna go, Cincinnati?"
Hilarious! Sounds like Hank Steinbrenner (whom the Yankees don't really let
talk on the record anymore), though the next person quoted in Matthews'
story was team president Randy Levine.
He was little more equivocal.
"Derek Jeter is a great Yankee and he's a great player," [Levine] said. "
With that said and done, now is a different negotiation than 10 years ago."
Oh, I see. The Yankees cultivate Jeter's image — hand him a generous $189
million contract 10 years ago; name him captain in 2003; let him keep his
position and make Alex Rodriguez(notes) switch to third base in '04 despite
being the superior defensive shortstop; then tear up A-Rod's contract to
give him more money — and they get all chilly when Jeter comes back to the
pay window?
When did Derek Jeter turn into Hideki Matsui(notes)?
Jeter made $22.6 million in 2010 and apparently wants at least a four-year
deal near that rate. That would take him to 40 years old, with declining
range and nowhere to go on the infield. But what's A-Rod gonna do? Go back
to short?
Whatever, it's not my money or roster.
But the Yankees make me laugh; They created the Jeter legend, putting him in
a class with Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, et al. Yeah,
Hank Steinbrenner the anonymous source is right in a sense; Would a team
like the Reds be able, or even interested, in paying Jeter $21 million?
Probably not (although, as our illustration points out, he would get to wear
No. 2 in Cincy).
This might mean a leverage problem for the average superstar on the free-
agent market. But we're not talking about your average superstar. This is
the legendary Derek Jeter, Yankees captain. What, you think he won a Gold
Glove for his defense?
Reputations cost money. And the Yankees will pay. |

发帖数: 13310 | 9 15M/yr? He's not worth more than 8M/yr outside NYC. He's hit .270
and 10HR for a full-season IN HIS CONTRACT YEAR.That's Ian Desmond
like, and he's 10+ years older than Ian Desmond. Or can he switch
to left field or 3B for any team with that kind of offensive
productivity? Maybe he can DH for Mariners.
And his female fans are now mostly middle-age moms. Except for
the Yank captain title, who gives him a damn.

However I hope Yankees can offer a 4-5 years contract to their holy captain, and lock him up for lifetime. They will have a bunch of old guys and large contracts.

I hope that yankees can sign him at a reasonable salary and years. The team
doesn't own anything to Jeter. He made $189 million in last 10 years. |
