WTF !

FROM MLB . COM

Cashman continued to respond on Tuesday, telling ESPN New York, "We understand his contributions to the franchise and our offer has taken them into account. We've encouraged him to test the market and see if there's something he would prefer other than this. If he can, fine. That's the way it works."

Are these guys NUTS ! This is NOT the WAY IT WORKS . WE are talking about the YANKEE CAPTAIN! The Face of the Franchise ! The MOST respected player in BASEBALL !!! This is Mantle, DImaggio, Munson, Mattingly ,,,

Ok,, he did not have a great year .... SO friggin what, he has EARNED THIS !
They spend millions on Pavano - pitched what 7 innings over 3 years for 45 Millions,, Javier Vazquez - TWICE !
Anyone remember Kai Igawa - makin 14 mill a year Pitchin in Scranton ! AJ burnett - 80 million,,, and you were afraid to pitch him in the play offs ! Mike Witt could not pitch in NY ! Nick Johnson - 5 million ! This list goes on and on..................

AND THIS IS the guy that we are are gonna say,,, noooooooooooooooo we can't spend that money !

You been to game ??? Are there 20 -30 thousand JETER Jersey's and shirts in the stands !

And is this Hank , and Hal,,,,, They can't stand that Derek is a bigger in NY than they are ? George had no problem with it ,,

Can you see Jeter gettin hit #3000 in an other uniform ?!?!?! OMG !

Both sides need to work this out.... Jeter is better off as a Yankee and the Yankees are better off signing him !

Let me be clear,,,,, if they F this up and Jeter signs elsewhere (I still doubt that that happens) WE or I will be attending NO games this year ! Now that may not hurt the Yankees in the long run..... but it will be while before I feel the same about this team ! And I really think the Backlash from the Fans will be something that they have never seen !
