Yes... It just needs to get ironed out there is no rush eiter way....until the Christmas bills come due, then we might see some action Yea there is no rush but everyday there will be another report. How long before we see "Jeter wants to own the Yankees" To anyone going through a difficult time right now remember someone always has it worse.

TheStripes Posts: 1,547	Looking back at some columns written over the summer gives me cause for concern that the Jeter camp is being unrealstic and some of the numbers thrown around are in the neighborhood of what number 2 wants. Here's one from September 1. Complicating matters is the Alex Rodriguez contract, which has another seven years worth $209 million, plus those potential milestone home-run bonuses. Jeter may be the ultimate team guy, but two former teammates believe that when it comes to getting paid, his pride will demand that he get something approaching A-Rod money, regardless of what he hits this season. "It's up to (the Yankees)," one former player said. "Knowing Jeet, he's not going to let an off-year, if it turns out to be an off-year, play a role in what he thinks he should get paid. He just doesn't think like that. He'll be more convinced than ever that he'll come back and hit .330 next year." The second former teammate essentially agreed. "The question is whether (Brian) Cashman and the others think this is the start of a decline," he said. "And if so, are they going to factor it into the negotiations or just pay him for being the face of the franchise all these years? Knowing Derek, he'll say all the right things, but he won't give an inch based on his numbers this season." Obviously the Yankees won't want to go to war with Jeter, knowing it likely would be a PR nightmare. "They're in a tough spot," one prominent agent said Tuesday. "Because the way he's hitting, the gap between his true value as an old shortstop without power and his Yankee-legend value is so enormous, I'm not sure how you bridge that gap without causing some hard feelings."

I wouldnt be surprised if the Yanks chose not to go that route, no player is worth this much hassle. The longer this goes on the less better Jeter looks especially if he is getting paid in retirement for what other Yankee greats, who were better players than him gladly do for free.

Yup! And stay tuned for that one, it's been kinda quiet on that front the past couple of weeks it seems cause of all the fun with these topics. Lee kinda takes a back burner to the news of current Yankee players I guess. And to a much lesser degree, we forgot to mention Cano getting "robbed" of the MVP award.
