[新聞] Hank: Yanks Made 'Guys Very, Very Rich'

[beckseaton (沒有運動會死)]

NEW YORK (AP) — Hank Steinbrenner has a message as the New York Yankees
negotiate to re-sign Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera.

"As much as we want to keep everybody, we've already made these guys very,
very rich, and I don't feel we owe anybody anything monetarily," the Yankees
co-chairman said Tuesday. "Some of these players are wealthier than their
bosses."

With negotiations moving slowly, the Yankees declined to offer salary
arbitration to Jeter and Rivera before Tuesday's midnight deadline. New York
also failed to offer arbitration to left-hander Andy Pettitte, reliever Kerry
Wood and first baseman Lance Berkman but did make the offer to right-hander
Javier Vazquez, unlikely to re-sign following a disappointing season.

By offering arbitration, New York would receive draft-pick compensation if
Vazquez signs elsewhere. His agents have been negotiating with the Florida
Marlins.

New York has made a $45 million, three-year offer to Jeter, a baseball
executive with knowledge of the proposal said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because it wasn't made public.

"We've encouraged him to test the market and see if there's something he
would prefer other than this," general manager Brian Cashman told
ESPNNewYork.com, without confirming the figure. "If he can, fine. That's the
way it works."

Jeter is coming off a $189 million, 10-year contract that was second only to
Alex Rodriguez's deals of $252 million and $275 million, both over a decade.

"Negotiating is always a process," Steinbrenner said. "I know he wants to
stay. It's going to come down to what's fair for everybody considering all
circumstances."

Now 36, Jeter hit .270 with 10 homers, down from a .334 average and 18 homers
the previous season. While his RBIs increased by one to 67, his on-base
percentage fell from .406 to .340 and his slugging average dropped from .465
to .370.

An off year or the start of a career-ending tailoff? No way to tell.

But without the threat of negotiations involving other teams, there's little
pressure for either side to make a deal quickly.

"Do we want to keep Derek? Of course we do, obviously," Steinbrenner said.
"Obviously we all want to keep Derek and we all want to keep Mo."

Steinbrenner remains confident deals will be reached to keep the pair.

"I don't think in the end they will be unreasonable," he said.
