Official New York Yankees Offseason Thread

Well he didn't pitch well in the WS from what I heard (I didn't bother to watch the snooze fest)

So that should work in everyone's favor...


I would offer 5 years - $80-85 mil.. If someone wants to offer him more so be it..

-I'm really on the fence with signing Lee. I know they are the Yankees and the money is there to spend, but a lot of it can be spent elsewhere in the needs that are to be addressed instead of giving Lee the $ and X-amount of years that he wants.
-I can definitely see Werth in Boston (he has that look) and Crawford with the Angels makes sense. Good riddance from the East.

I figure it won't... But I have reservations about giving every big player $20+mil..  Especially because he won't be our #1. And although I'd make him the #2. Girardi may even put him as a #3..

$16-17 mil  as compared to the $22 he will probably get per year is a drop in the bucket but still...

What you and others with your mentality need to understand is that it goes beyond age and production with Jeter. While I agree that's stupid it's the truth, Jeter is a brand...much like the Yankees...he holds so much weight not only with the franchise, but it's image, HIS image in New York and most of all with the fans. People, kids buy tix to go see JETER more than they go see the Yankees. He is a living legend amongst the Yankee lure.

His contract will dictate not his worth on the field, but his value within the stands, on the field, off of it + all his marketing.

4 years 20 mil...it's crazy but it's Jeter, there is no 2 ways about that.
