#2 and his agent reportedly want way more years and $$$$$ then the BOMBERS are willing to give.......and YANKESS have the leverage.

DEREK JETER of the NEW YORK YANKESS is a mega-star with lots of charisma and almost the perfect athlete on and off the field. THE YANKEE Shortstop has never once been a problem for the YANKEES and is arguably the face of MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL or one of the faces.

ALL this leads me to believe that he and his agent want a deal reportedly in the same range or little off of the same range as his previous deal. Now being who he is and all the YANKEE Mystique once a BOMBER always a BOMBER.........Right? YES.......BUT....HOLD ON........to ask the YANKEES Brass to give that kind of money to a shortstop who is definately passed his best baseball is luducris. And I go back to all the things of him being the best teammate, the best player he could be, and an all-around professional on and off the field he gets no argument.

The two sides of the story is THE YANKESS always give lots of many then any other suitor for a free agent they covet and the BOMBERS are a victim of their own practice in paying that type of money.....so why not JETER and His AGENT ask for that kind of cash.........IT'S THE YANKEES WAY RIGHT.

REPORTEDLY the YANKS have not moved off an intial offer of 3 years and about $45 million and JETER and his people are asking for two or three more years of about $23-$25 per season......OUCH........at the ripe old age of around 35 plus years old..........C'MON JETER.........NOT HAPPENING.....even with the BRONX BOMBERS.

NOTE******** DEREK is a home-grown product which means he was drafted and went through the minors as a YANKEE so the PINSTRIPES really hold all the leverage....I MEAN where else is he going.........the CARMINES.......BOSTON RED SOX that is.

YANKEE FANS HOLD ON TO YOUR #2 JERSEYS AND MEMORABILIA........this will be a tougher decsion for both sides than you think.
