this is something the yankees have done for a long time. u can bend the rules for 2 or 3 guys. then everyone is going to expect it. theyll resign jeter and mo and girardi wont take long. mo and jeter dont want to play anywhere and i highly doubt girardi wouldnt do anything to stay here

Well, if anyone can play the “I’m only going to answer this once” card, and get away with it in New York, it’s Jeter – ’cause he’s already done that once before…

The Yanks don’t have to say anything about any of them.

“No comment”.

Period.

Endit.

It’s no big deal guys. We heard all last year about how much money the Yankees spent, how much of a joke their new home-run-friendly ballpark is, how CC and A-Rod can’t win the big ones or perform in the playoffs, etc. There’s always something in Yankeeland that’s played to death and we never hear the end of it.

We best be gettin’ used to it.

It’s The Yankees..everything pertaining to these guys is reported. Not looking forward to the day that Jeter’s bowels are dicussed openly on blogs/sites

I think we will be hearing a lot about it too – but it really sucks that we have to. Let’s be honest – Jeter will be taken care of, whether we overpay his true market value or not. The REAL questions will come if Jeter has an extended slump at anytime this year, or his defense regresses after his great season last year. Then we will hear everyday about it. But I guess if he has another stellar season, we could hear about it too. So I went full circle. You’re right – this is never going away.
