Story:
The Bronx (12/5/2010) - New York Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter has reached an agreement with the team on a three-year deal worth $51 million.
The deal would be a slight pay cut for the Yankee captain, who is coming off his worst year at the plate with a .270 average and just 10 home runs.
Despite his decline last year, Yankees fans who spoke with NY1 this weekend said they are happy to have Jeter back.
"I'm really glad that they agreed on a deal because I think he's a major, key player for the Yankees. He's a really good captain so I was really hoping actually that they'd sign him again," said one Yankees fan.
"I think Jeter needs to stay with the Yankees. I couldn't really picture him with any other baseball team," said another.
"I thought he would resign, hoping he'd resign and I can't see him as anything other than a Yankee," said a third.
Jeter, 36, has spent his entire career with the Yankees, and won five World Series with the team.
He is on pace to reach his 3,000th hit next season -- a milestone no Yankee has ever reached while in pinstripes.
