Derek Jeter ain't leavin the Yankees...
Regardless of what these clowns try to photoshop into reality! and regardless of how much sports talk shows dedicate to the ongoing free agency negotiations. Let's be real... He's the captain, he's on the verge of hitting number 3,000, he's the face of the most popular sports franchise in the world, and he likes it that way!

Negotiations between the Yankees and Derek Jeter are at a standstill until Jeter and his agent, Casey Close, "drink the reality potion," according to a source close to the negotiations. According to the source, a baseball industry executive who has knowledge of both sides' positions, the Yankees are not budging from the three-year, $45 million offer they made to Jeter earlier this month, nor has Jeter moved off his demand for a longer contract believed to be in the area of $23 million-$25 million per season. No talks took place over the holiday weekend and none are currently scheduled. Neither Yankees general manager Brian Cashman nor Close immediately returned messages seeking comment early Monday. Last week, Cashman told ESPN New York: "We understand his contributions to the franchise and our offer has taken them into account.
