Derek Jeter

"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."

Translation – Go F*ck yourself…..

Derek Jeter – The Captain of the Yankees. The face of the franchise. Icon of New York. One of the top 5 players ever to wear the pinstrips. He is the franchise leader in hits. He will surpass 3000 hits next year. He has helped win 5 World Championships.

His popularity never waivers. http://www.topsellingjerseys.com/2010/05/18/derek-jeter-remains-mlbs-best-selling-jersey/

So how do the Yankees treat him? Hey Derek.... drop dead.

When it was AROD the Yankees opened the vault and started handing him stacks of money. No problem. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3153171

You know AROD, the guy who said he didn’t cheat with Steroids but actually did.

For him no amount of money was too much. But for Derek Jeter, the guy who has meant everything to this franchise for 15 years. The guy who is never in trouble. The guy who is respected by all. For him he gets a kick in the azz. The same kick in the azz Joe Torre got after he won 4 championships.

Get out!

Oh and by the way (Yankee fans) not only are they insulting your captain but they are also raising your ticket prices. So the fans can f*ck off too.
