It is official. As of opening day next season, Derek Jeter will be the longest tenured player in the history of this great organization. This new contract for 1 year/$12 million replaces a player option Jeter had, that he could of walked away from if he wanted. This deal will make sure he spends a 20th season with the team and hopefully make one more run at a final championship. He was hurt for most of this past season, so this contract will give him the opportunity to end his career on the field instead of on the injured list. He is 9th on the all-time hit list and will look to add to his many accolades.
