Derek Jeter to retire (after 2014 season)

[G-Snarls]

Per his Facebook page

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

It says he will retire AFTER the 2014 season

 

And for the record I wasn't scoping out his Facebook page, I swear. News tricking around...

[NorthOf49]

After the 2014 season, yep. You should add that distinction to the title!

[G-Snarls]

Somewhere, Stephen Drew has a hard on and is frantically calling his agent

[G-Snarls]

The worst part of this is that now we'll be subjected to another Rivera-style farewell tour and crap. Nauseating thought...

Top-3 DH

3-Jeter

 

So do Yankees sign Drew to play SS and use Jeter as DH?

Jeter put on his Facebook page that he was retiring. Talked to #Yankees exec who did not know it was coming.

 

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 4m

But I have confirmed with his agent, Casey Close, that Jeter is indeed, retiring.

[G-Snarls]

ARod would have gotten in trouble for posting this on Facebook without the front office knowing first (though they'd be thrilled with the retirement news LOL)

 

For Jeter it will be OK

This is unfortunately good news for the Yankees.

 

So they don't have to pay him 20M+ to be a DH in 2015 as a "thank you"??

[Abomination]

The agents for at least 4 FA shortstops next year just got a belated Christmas present lol.

No. Jeter was a DH who played at SS for long period of time

Who are the top 3?

[Dick_Pole]

I'm very sad about this, only because the Yankees will immediately get cheaper and better at SS starting in 2015. Even if the replacement ends up being a blind monkey with AIDS.

 

I was hoping Jeter would be around another several miserable years to chase Pete Rose's hit record and the Yankees would be crucified if they ever tried to "Posada-ize him". MLB would have loved it if he wiped Rose off the record books. Selig would be on the first train to fellatio there.

Dude, they all look gay in that picture. Can't believe their agents allowed that to go on.

[Anemic0ffense]

Good riddance to Derek 'Bloops' Bleeder. His arrogance will not be missed.

[bendera3]

Alex Gonzalez was a good looking dude.

[jaysfan2014]

Too bad the options for the Yanks at SS in 2015 are Asdrubal Cabrera, JJ Hardy and Jed Lowrie. Hardy's likely to resign with Baltimore, Hanley Ramirez is 100% likely to resign with the Dodgers, Lowrie is as bad or worse defensively as Derek Jeter. and can't stay healthy (except for last year. At least Oakland has Addison Russell on the way this year if Lowrie gets hurt.)

 

Asdrubal Cabrera is a 2B playing SS, and will likely be supplanted by Lindor by midseason, an elite prospect who could be much better than Cabrera.

 

And the trade market isn't going to work due to the Yankees having so few chips to deal.

[Sammy225]

Drew is going to sign a one year deal somewhere now and he will hit the market next year and the yanks will give him a butt load of money.

Maybe, but if it's for less than the QO it would be quite the black mark for Boras.

I doubt many teams will give up a 1st round pick for one year unless 1) Their top pick is protected or 2) They think they are one SS away from contending.
