NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees have made “significant or substantial progress” on a new contract.
The person spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.
Although negotiations moved slowly last month, there is little doubt the Yankees captain will remain in pinstripes.
Coming off a $189 million, 10-year contract, Jeter initially had been offered a $45 million, three-year deal.
