GMs Conflicted On Heywards Chances At $200M Contract - RealGM Wiretap A number of baseball executives were polled by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports on whether or not Jason Heyward's next contract will be worth more than $200 million.
Just 10 players in Major League history have signed for that amount nike air max tavas herr , all in the last few years.
Heyward's numbers may not indicate that he's a $200 million player, but one general manager foresees him getting at least close to $200 million as a free agent.
"He's the best defensive right fielder in the game. He's young. He has upside. He's a leader with great makeup. And his WAR is higher than Giancarlo Stanton," the GM pointed out.
Heyman polled six other general managers who don't believe Heyward will flirt with a $200 million contract.
However, one of the GMs wouldn't rule out such a deal if Heyward has a huge season for the St. Louis Cardinals.
"It only takes one," that GM pointed out.
Jeter Targeting March 10 For First Spring Game - RealGM Wiretap
Derek Jeter is expected to play in his first spring game around March 10.
"He's kind of doing everything, but we're not ready to run him out there for game activity," Brian Cashman said. "When we do, I think we'll start him at DH and then expand."
Jeter ran on the infield dirt on Saturday nike air max tavas dam , his first time doing so since suffering a left ankle fracture in last season's ALCS. He said that having fewer plate appearances than usual in Spring Training should not have a major effect on his preparation.
"I can't tell you how many at-bats I've had in any spring," Jeter said. "I think it's more of a feel thing. You know when you feel as though you're ready. I've had springs where I've left Spring Training not feeling good and I've gotten off to good starts and it's been the opposite."
Steinbrenner Yankees Disappointed In A Rod - RealGM Wiretap
Hal Steinbrenner says that at times the Yankees have been "disappointed" in Alex Rodriguez.
Steinbrenner's comments come a day after Brian Cashman said Rodriguez "probably ... couldn't live up to" his $275 million contract.
Rodriguez opted out of his original 10-year, $252 million contract following his 2007 MVP season.
"That may be true. It's a big contract," Steinbrenner said. "That's a philosophical argument, I guess. It's a big contract. We all hope he's going to act like a Yankee and do the best he can to live up to it. How about that?"
A-Rod, is out until at least the All-Star break after undergoing a second hip surgery in January and is currently under investigation by Major League Baseball for his alleged involvement with the Biogenesis "anti-aging clinic" in Miami.

White Sox Wont Dismantle At Trade Deadline - RealGM Wiretap
With a few weeks to go before the non-waiver trade deadline, the Chicago White Sox aren't expected to dismantle before July 31.
Chicago added several players via free agency this past offseason.
"It's important that we not lose sight of what our organization goal was, and that was to give us the best three-year window. And we're not going to abandon that completely with only three months to play nike air max tavas sverige ," Ken Williams said. "I think [Rick Hahn's] done one hell of a job. Everyone wants to put the blame on [manager] Robin [Ventura], too, but all he can do is put the players in position to succeed. They're the ones who have to look in the mirror and execute. If we do anything, it will be consistent with trying to maximize this three-year plan or window that we set out originally."
The White Sox entered play on Monday at 36-43, occupying last place in the American League Central.
