Derek Jeter’s future: Mets, Red Sox, Reds, Giants?
By
Yesterday, New York Yankees’ GM Brian Cashman stirred the pot by telling free agent team captain Derek Jeter to “test the market” instead of taking the Yankees offer (reported as three-years, $45 million). The team also declined to offer him arbitration.
Now the question is – where will Jeter start to shop himself around?
According to a source, Jeter won’t be able to take his skills across the way to Queens. The source says there’s no way he will become a member of the New York Mets, as reported by the New York Daily News’ Andy Martino. The Mets already have $11 million committed to their 27-year-old shortstop Jose Reyes.
Kevin Kaduk (aka Big League Stew at Yahoo Sports) has posted a few pictures of Jeter in a Red Sox and Reds jersey. While these situations are highly unlikely, it’s amusing to see Jeter out of his pinstripes. There was speculation that the San Francisco Giantscould monitor Jeter’s free agency since GM Brian Sabean was the head of Yankees’ scouting when they drafted Jeter in 1992. The Giants also need a shortstop.
