If the Yankees have a bad year and he doesn't play well or gets hurt, the Yankees have leverage. If he stays healthy, has a good season and the team does well, even if we were to get bounced in the ALDS, he'd have the leverage. Edited by Yanksfan03, Nov 6 2009, 07:56 PM.

Half the money of his next deal will be for sentimentality, marketing and the good vibes that'll come with him chasing milestones. He'd whip his dick out and slap Cashman with it if they offered him $40M for three years. Jeter and the fanbase would not accept The Captain making less than half what A-Rod is getting.

It's going to be a 5 year, $100 million contract with player options after that. I understand the reason why you'd want to do otherwise but its happening.

He's been a great Yankee but sentimentality is for Losers. We need to start transitioning to a younger more atheletic team or we'll be in 4th place in a couple years with a lineup filled with ova-da-hill veterans. :agent:

I think given his good season stretching to $15 per and 3 is worthy (see what 2010 gives us) but otherwise I'd cut ties. I also think it will be $20m per and 4/5 years because of the reasons listed above.
