NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Yankees have increased their contract offer to Derek Jeter.
The team informed Jeter’s side of the new offer during a telephone conversation early Thursday, a person familiar with the negotiations said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement was made.
New York opened with a $45 million, three-year offer last month, then awaited a formal proposal from its captain. It was not known whether the new offer improved the value, contract length or both.
