As a sports fan and a fan of Derek Jeter as a person and as a baseball player I think Jeter should get paid big time for the New York Yankees.

Jeter is a free agent right now as you may know he has spent his entire career as a Yankee and given his best on the field and off the field.

The dude is the true meaning of a professional. He reps the Yankees. He is the Yankees truth be told. When you think of the New York Yankees you think of Derek Jeter. If the Yankees “low ball” Jeter in a new contract offer that would be wrong in my opinion.

Yes he is older and may have lost some of his skills but I still think Derek Jeter should be paid real big by the Yankees. It is not because the team does not have the money. Of course they do!! So if that is the case then why not pay Jeter. And pay him good.

Derek Jeter should start and end his career as a Yankee. Let’s face it, can you picture Jeter in a another uniform? I can’t.   Gordon Curvey
