[...] as we move closer to the end of the 2010 season, when his current deal expires. We know that Jeter isn’t thinking about his contract right now, and it appears the Yanks aren’t either. Both Jayson Stark and Jon Heyman note the [...]

Here is what is going to happen: HE will dictate how long he is going to play, what he will accept in salary, and what team he will play for. It will all be done out of the public’s eye, and it will get done quietly. Like A-Rod, he will get bonus incentives for each Yankee (or major league) record he breaks, and 3,000 hits, 3,500 hits, etc. After his playing days are over, he has said many times in the past that he would like to own a team. Once Hal and Hank decide they have made enough money, Jeter will be part of a syndicate that buys the Yankees, he may or may not be the front man. Or, he will buy into the team and remain the face of the franchise. It is real simple, he has made his wishes known for a long time.

If they get rid of Jeter they are making a big mistake. Especially giving another ball club an excellent short stop, non the less a great leadoff hitter and a guy still able to steal bases in his mid 30′s.

Jeter playing for another team is not even in for discussion and it shouldnt be! Getting rid of Jeter would more then likely ruin some fans. Im sure Cashman and Georgie dont want that!

Jeter’s value decreases as he gets older. And no other team in baseball would commit that type of money to a shortstop unless his name is A-Rod…

you obv have no idea what youa re talking about. since the nady deal happened last year.

the swisher deal happened nov 13 BEFORE CC, TEX, AND BURNETT.

Marte’s contract happened in NOVEMBER BEFORE CC TEX AND BURNETT.

it is those 3 moves that handcuffed them. find a move they made since then that hasn’t bene motivate dby money?

you obviously have no idea about facts.

Get some perspective, and look at what they’re doing critically. Cashman and Steinbrenner can say whatever they want to the media; actions say something else. I don’t believe anything they say publicly. You’d be foolish to.

follow your own advice and educate yourself next time. all those moves came before the big 2 signings and the implementation of a budget. PLUS youre right, actions say something, you know like having the pirates PAY 400000 DOLLARS FOR HINSKE.

so you = epic fail
