MLB Rumors: 10 Stars the Yankees Mistreated in »
Throughout the years, the Yankees have established themselves as the most successful franchise in all of sports. Along with this winning attitude has come a slight air of arrogance among the front office.The Yankees have made a habit of mistreating their loyal stars when it comes to the end of their careers and possibly their last contracts. [...]
MLB Rumors: Who Will Play SS, Close for Yankees if »
MLB rumors continue to heat up the hot stove—or at least New York City—as we inch closer and closer to February. And that magical date when pitchers and catchers report. Around baseball, it's actually been a somewhat quiet offseason for player movement. No free agents of note have signed, with the exception of the reports that former [...]
The New York Yankees and R-E-S-P-E-C-T »
As it pertains to J-E-T-E-R I really hate this kind of stuff. Both the Yankees and Derek Jeter seem to be bordering on the unreasonable as they dicker over a new contract. The Yankees’ corner claims that it’s all business, that Jeter isn’t getting any younger, that he shouldn’t be unduly rewarded for past performance, [...]
Derek Jeter Negotiations Bring Out the Worst in Yankee »
If you’re going to write anything this month about Derek Jeter and his current negotiations with the New York Yankees, you need to begin by weighing in. So, for what it’s worth: No, Derek Jeter is not worth six years at $25 million a year. It is also fair to say that he is worth more than three years at $15 million [...]
MLB Rumors: Will the New York Yankees Let Derek Jeter »
The tension between the New York Yankees organization and Derek Jeter is palpable. The Yankees have offered the 36 year old shortstop a three year deal worth 45 million dollars. This is a significant pay cut from his last contract which paid him 189 million dollars over 10 seasons. At the time Jeter signed the contract he was the second highest [...]
Slade Heathcott: Looking at New York Yankees Starters »
In the 2009 MLB draft, the New York Yankees selected Slade Heathcott in the first round, 29th overall. It was not surprising to some as the Yankee were known to like the toolsy outfielder. And in the recent Baseball America (BA) Top 10 New York Yankee prospects, Heathcott ranked No. 9. BA also projects future lineups and Slade was projected [...]
New York Yankees: They’d Be Crazy To Give »
I'm confused. It isn't the first time I've been confused, of course, because I'm blonde. I don't think of myself as a ditzy blonde, though. I think I have a good grasp on most things, although I still can't quite figure out why anyone older than 14 would consider Adam Sandler a funny man. I mean, Sandler is funny like Tiger Woods is a virgin. But [...]
Derek Jeter’s Worth For the New York Yankees Is »
Derek Jeter will be a New York Yankee next season. Let's just get that out of the way. Both sides have been a little wrong and a little right in the ongoing negotiations for the free agent and future first-ballot Hall of Famer. With the Yankees reportedly offering the captain a three-year, $45 million contract, they are clearly willing to pay far [...]
Derek Jeter’s True Market Value: How Many »
The Yankees' original offer of three years, $45 million wasn't good enough. Jeter reportedly is seeking an annual salary of $23-24 million for a four or five-year contract, but New York GM Brian Cashman laughed that one off the table. So how much is Jeter actually worth? Is it somewhere between $15 million and $25 million? Less than $15 million? [...]
Derek Jeter: Time for New York Yankees and Their Star »
You have to hand it to Hal Steinbrenner: He's more than just a man with a outstanding wave of auburn hair. There are some serious brains under that Superman coif.Imagine if someone asked you, in one word, to describe the last week of As The Jeter Negotiations Turn. Now throw out "stupid", "awkward", "embarrassing", "unnecessary", and"distasteful". [...]
