Derek Jeter to Re-Sign With the Yankees Today!
By Tim Ryan
Jeter and his agent, Casey Close, wisely turned the corner quickly in this deal once the “Derek’s being greedy” headlines started making the rounds.

It was time, and now the sports world – along with the TBL commentariat – can breathe again because a famous New York athlete will be staying in New York and continue to move the needle.
Thankfully, the focus will remain in New York as the Yankees turn the page in their checkbook and prepare to make an absurdly rotund offer for the services of Clifton Phifer Lee.
