Because he's not A-Rod. $27MWho's the early season #1 contenders & pretenders?
Jeter is paid for more than his on-field value. He's the "face" of the Yankees, and the player with whom many fans identify. Signing him was not only a good move for winning games, but also for drawing fans.As for his play, he might not be the god portrayed by some Yankees fans, but he's a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer. It seems a given that he'll get 3,000 hits, and his .388 career OBP is excellent. I don't think he deserved to win Gold Gloves, but neither is he the butcher in the field that some say.
Money is relative in baseball, and paying $21m to the most popular player on the sport's most popular team doesn't seem, to me at least, that big a deal.
