Derek Jeter is looking to fly stand-by

Word out of New York is that Derek Jeter isn't happy with the 3 years at 21MM per year the Yanks are offering. A "source familiar with both sides" indicates Jeter wants at least 4, and more like 6 years at 21 million.

The guy will be 36 in June, and hit .270. Despite winning a Gold Glove, there is no one in baseball that really thinks he's anything other than an average defensive short stop.

If this is a true story, Derek can start booking flights for other cities, and he better cash in that 1st class ticket for coach...or better yet, fly stand-by.
