They deferred the contract, so basically they have to pay him a milli a year till 2035, Wilpon thought he'd be all good with that, but that shyt all backfired once Bernie Madoff was exposed and Wilpon was in the Ponzi scheme.

Statistically the worst defensive SS of all-time, breh.
I don't care how many jerseys that guy sold.
Overall he cost the team wins, B.
And I'm a Yankees fan.
Arod - 3 and $61 mill Left
CC - 2 and $53 mill with another $25 mill if he doesn't have a shoulder injury
Teixeira - 2 and $43 mill left
Beltran - 2 and $30 Mill. Left
Thanks Brian Cashman.

You know arod is getting every last cent
What a horrible deal
What a horrible deal
Analysts studied every shortstop in baseball history using all sorts of different ways to rate defense, and in every single examination, Jeter ranked last or close to last among defensive ability.Attempt to explain this.
Even Baseball-Reference, which uses a more relaxed version of Defensive WAR ranks him at -9.7 for his career.
He was a great offensive talent, but his defensive problems meant that the Yankees could have won more games with a better SS who maybe didn't have as good a bat as Jeter did.
Especially over the last 7 or 8 years of his career.

His 10 year contract ended 4 years ago and during that time span he won 5 gold gloves, appeared in 3 world series and won one.
For what could be said about Jeter's last 2 years in NY, his giant contract wasn't bad at all. Even the 4 year deal he had to end his career produced 2 good years which is reasonable for a SS in his late 30's. Now I'm not the biggest Jeter fanatic, but of all the bloated Yankee deals we've seen, JETER'S is the one that stands out?
Literally none of Jeter's Gold Gloves were legitimate.His 10 year contract ended 4 years ago and during that time span he won 5 gold gloves, appeared in 3 world series and won one.

And handing him 45 million dollars in that last contract was overpaying him by at least 25 million.

I don't think anyone's gonna debate either point necessarily, BUT, hardly does it merit any sort of chatter amongst awful contracts like the ones mentioned. Like I said, a 4 year deal at 37 years old, he gave you 2 good years, 1 he barely played and one where he sucked, his final year. All in all, you'll take it, because for whatever Jeter lost defensively, he had the bat to more than make up for it.
What's next? Manny Ramirez's tenure in Boston was a disaster because he couldn't field 310 feet of real estate?
