Jeter Stays a Yankee

6 mil for the yankees is like taking a 10 dollar bill out of your pocket and handing it over

I thought it was more like them finding spare change in the washing machine or dryer.

Agreed but its still $6 million they didn't have to waste. They were more than generous with the original offer.

[HollywoodLeo]

Giving more than their original offer, but still a lot less than Jeter's demand, is not giving in. That's called negotiating.

Sorry but I disagree.

[HollywoodLeo]

You disagree on a common practice that hast taken place in pretty much any business transaction involving money, outside of fixed-price sales at a store, since the onset of capitalism?

Jeter wasn't in a position to negotiate in my view and that's what I disagree with. Yankees held ALL the cards and they caved when they didn't have to. Nice try though.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

I think Hollywood and I are trying to say the Yankees didn't cave, so it renders your argument invalid. I completely agree, the Yankees held all the cards. And they didn't cave. Therefore they won.

[love_that_reefer]

We have different views of caving, that's fine.

You don't need an all star at every position to win the WS. Also, you cannot replace a Derek Jeter.

Jeter isn't an all star?
