Derek Jeter is Mr. Yankee. At 36 years old he would like to finish his career as a Yankee.
Hank Steinbrenner & Brian Cashman have decided to save their public face. Instead of continuing their contract discussions with Jeter in private, they went public to let everyone know about the 3 year, $45 million deal that was offered & rejected. The New York Post had a picture of Jeter in a Red Sox uniform with Hank's quote of let him look elsewhere.
I know it's the Yankees & we all enjoy turmoil in the Yankee camp. But guys like Jeter, Posada & Rivera are the last of the original Yankees who we hated all through the 90's. To go public on a re-signing of your captain is pure positioning for the media. I think Jeter deserves better from his employer.
