    He'll still end up a Yankee. It's just like a chess match at the moment but when it comes to the crunch, they'll offer him something and he'll sign.

    Yeah, they'll go back and forth for a while. No-one will offer him more than 3 years at the money NYY are offering, and he'll go back with a slightly higher and/or longer offer and they'll agree and it'll be all happy families there again.

    Colin Cowherd thinks the Red Sox should put in an offer. Now that would be funny!

    Cowherd is a weird man. Can't see Theo Epstein lowering himself to that somehow. Imagine the Red Sox fans, they'd still boo him!

    He'll probably end up with 3 years $47m or something, just a bit higher so 'The Captain' doesn't lose face. He has some ego. Great player and all, but he's not a shortstop anymore and the Yankees are supposed to be winning championships.

    Maybe he'll retire. We should be so lucky. Although that would probably make the Yankees better. On second thoughts, play on, Derek, play on!

    Basically $51 million over 3 years with the usual options and buyout clauses. Probably around what we believed it would be all along. There was no way he was going to play anywhere else but he was being a bit optimistic with what he was looking for originally.

    Now let's just hope his drop off in performance continues so it'll be money wasted by the Yankees...!!!!
