he was lucky to get offered 15 million a year.Comment -
definitely believe the story 2. was definitely leaked by someone in yankee front office to let the fans know that jeter camp is being totally unreasonable.Comment -
Who is his agent? Must be Boros...Comment -
Casey CloseComment -
The guy is a great fielder, hitter, leader, and has a shot to end his career with 4000+ hits. But no way is he worth 25 mil/year. At this stage of his career... he'll be lucky to get a contract over 5 years long and lucky to get 15+ mil/year.Comment -
If this is accurate and not just a negoiating ploy for an ARod-type contract, Jeter may have played his last game as a Yankee...
DocComment -
Obviously the contract is based on the passed. The Yankees have made so much with Jeter, but of course this is a business. With the money they've thrown away over the years (igawa, henson, pavono..) why nickel and dime the guy. Give him the extra million.Comment -
Jeter making a fool out of himself, Yanks should just tell him to look elsewhereComment -
becausc he is over the hillComment -
Yeah he needs to suck it up and take the cash or peddle his wares elsewhere.Comment -
Jeter must be smoking that famous new york city crack.Comment -
He should sign with the Redsox or Mets! **** the yankees.Comment -
read something funny on twitter... "The Yankees should pay Jeter in intangibles"Comment -
good for the yanks to stick by their guns and not up their offer.
any other job will pay you by your current production, and they have been more then generous offering 45 mil over 3 years for a statistical average SS last year.Comment -
Here's the article, http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/ba...it_is_far.html
He's delusional if he thinks he's worth that. The Yankees would be crazy to pay him half of that.Comment -
fuk him
He has always been a greedy sellfish person, conned the public for his whole careerComment -
That is the biggest joke i have ever heard. So basicly he wants money because of what he helped the Yanks do in the past because he sure as hell isn't worth 5 mill a year. He can't hit or even field anymore. He is smoking crack if he thinks he is getting close to that. If he doesn't take the, more than generious offer, Yanks have offered then he might be playing in Japan because no other team wants an over the hill shortstopComment -
Jeter would not even look at a kid on the street and sign an autograph
He is a stuck up punkComment -
HUH ?Originally posted by rdo37
He sucks defensively
no way he gets 3,500 career hits...unless he becomes a player/owner. The guy is done.Comment -
I like Jeter, but that's whacked. I thought the Yanks offering $15 million a year for three was out of line....if they do that one I'll lose whatever respect I have left for the Yankees brass. They would be better off paying Cliff Lee and pushing A-Rod to shortstop and signing Beltre for third....Sorry Jeter but loyalty goes both ways.Originally posted by brxbmbers42Comment -
So he didn't give you an autograph coach...don't you think you're a little old to be asking for signatures?Originally posted by jjgold

I don't even think Jeter is worth 15 million per year...
3 years for 45 million is generous IMO
THAT 15 mil includes the hometown discount, because casual fans like some in my family are happy to see him on the team next year.
If the Yankees don't sign him for that money, who will? What is Jeters bargaining power?
Yankees - richest team say sorry
Boston - Their advanced sabermetics says Jeter isn't worth it
St. Louis - Not breaking the bank for him
Mets - Reyes
Washington - maybe want to give fans Jeter to get excited, but I doubt it.
Chubbs, White sox or maybe the Dodgers are the only teams I could think of that would overpay for him at this stage in his careerComment -
Jeter worth maybe 3 million and that is about it
Yanks should forget about him
you win with young guysComment -
Jeter's production will never bounce back. Send him on his way Yanks...Comment -
Maybe Jeter should go play in TurkeyComment -
Homeboy`s smokin crack
Comment -
The Mets can be his safety net if Turkey doesn't go down as planned.Originally posted by MB
The Yanks should just say, "thanks for the memories" and not even pursue his ass. Saying that $15 million is an insult is being downright detrimental to the team that made him very rich and very famous. Like someone said previous, loyalty is a two way street.Comment -
this guy just came off some pretty crappy stats for his career i think the lowest and he's demanding that kind of money. For one he's old, two his stats are declining who in there right mind would pay that kind of money for a older injury prone veteran. Not MEComment -
Jeter has nowhere else to go and pick up 15M per. Maybe he can talk another year out of the Yankees, but no way 6 years at 25M per.Comment -
Jeter is the most overrated player in baseball. All he does is slap base hits and ground into double plays. He has no power EVER.Comment -
he should have taken the 3 yr 45 mil and the fans would have been ok with that. he could have played out the 3 years and been a yankee legend. now it is all at risk.Comment -
Omg.. thats a lot of money... Isnt Jeter in a downwards sprial..?!Comment -
Fielding - No
Speed - No
Hitting for Power - Never
Hitting for average - Not last year
Taking a lot of pitches to wear down opposing pitchers - He swings at the first pitch
Ohhhh, but he's "clutch". so instead of being worth 5 million per year, you give him 15 million and he says 25. I say FCUK you Cheater.Comment -
Lol wowComment
