Yankee offseason singings

We should all be happy that the New York Yankees locked up Jeter and Mariano for next year.  Mariano Rivera's deal was smooth sailing, not the case for Jeter.  In the end of his negotiations Derek Jeter should be happy with what he got from the Yankees.  Many of the stories that broke about his negotiations with the Yankees were not true, and whether or not they were true it didn't matter since there shouldn't have been any stories written until the contract was finalized.  In the end the Yankees and Jeter will be able to live happily with Derek selling their brand.  At the Winter meetings they missed out on Carl Crawford who I don't they ever wanted any way, but they didn't want Crawford going to Boston.  The Yankees always had a plan in place for Mr. Cliff Lee to come to the Bronx.  Now that the Red Sox brought in two players at the meetings to bolster their lineup,  the Yankees push for Lee will be pushed up a notch since, they need at least one starter maybe two if Andy Pettite retires and their have been reports this week that he will and they have money to spend.
