Via a report by Wallace Mathews of ESPN.com, the Yankees are prepared to offer Jeter the big-bucks. While they have yet to make an offer to Jeter, as well as all their other free agent targets, "the Yankees are going to overpay him," said a source with intimate knowledge of the discussions. "The question is, how much[?]" It was reported that the deal will be for three years, $45-60 million. That's $15-20 million a year, about what was expected. Locking up the captain is one of the Yankees' top priorites this winter, as well as signing Mo, and more pitching (AKA Cliff Lee).
