Didn’t they say $19 million a year last night? lol
Whatever, get it done Saturday please.
And what’s funny is that if the deal gets done today on Saturday, it will only be the 2nd biggest news in baseball.

$19M was the average annual value, so it includes the option buyout spread out over the three years probably.

I always said that he deserved (by Yankee standards) and the contract should have been no more and no less than 4 years/$60MM. They’re both doing right by each other with this deal. Glad they’re working it out. It’s too bad it took them this long with this much public animosity, but it is what it is and hopefully we can put it behind us and Jeter will have a bounce back season to show us he’s still worth the love, adoration and I suppose most important, da moolah.

Just get it done, sign and move on. Mo down, Jeter soon to be down…let’s get down to the rest of our off-season business.

You could probably save yourselves some time by simply summarizing each Derek Jeter article with “Yankees still bidding against themselves”.

That would be great news (although it would have been greater without the public posturing). Then Andy’s next and we’ll have the Core Four back.

Yankees include a nursing home in the new park?

Get the deal done today and go into Lake Buena Vista monday with arms wind open to Lee.

forget that the fact that his name is derek jeter… any other 37 yr. old shortstop coming off a .270 10hr. .710 ops. season would never make anything close to what he is getting… what part of his game right now is worth even close to 17m a yr.???

I bet Jeter is worth $20M easy to the Yankees just in terms of marketing his smiling, yet aging, face on the YES Network and in other marketing ways. His baseball skills are really secondary when determining his value to the Yankees.

Get this done, get Lee, and focus on other needs (bench/bullpen)

5/130 or 6/140 for Lee??
Dylan Zane
most likely 6/140 is what I think, and is what Lee is reportedly expecting.

It is interesting that some of this money and Mo’s money is deferred. This will let them make a bigger push for Lee hopefully. I would go 6/150 easy if that is what it took. It isn’t my money though so its easy for me to say.
