Agreed. 6/150 is insane. 3/45 is insane too. But I can see why the Yankees made the offer.
Jeter is arguably the most significant Yankee since Mantle.
I'd like to say that I applaud what the Yankees have done here. But I just can't. If they REALLY wanted to play hard ball, they would have offered 2/ 9-12 AAV.. And that would have been "fair" given his age and recent performance. And of course what he means to Yankee fans and the Yankee bottom line.
Subjectively, I've always liked Jeter. He's always played tough and "the right way". He's always been a good citizen (from what I know), and has always been respectful of the game and everything his position entails. Plus, he put the wood to a young (attractive) Miriah Cary!
Ultimately, he's a non-essential component for the Yankees. They would still like to keep him around, but they realize they will remain competitive without him.
