08:13 AM ET 11.08 | After Derek Jeter and the Yankees agreed to a three-year, $45-million extension, the star shortstop later said he was "angry" with how things went. For someone who hates controversy more than he hates sitting out a ballgame, this was a 10.0 on the Jeter Richter Scale. A friend of general manager Brian Cashman, Jeter's primary nemesis in the negotiations, laughed afterward. "I bet that bothered Brian for one, maybe two seconds," the friend said. "If Mariano had said something like that, now that would've bothered Brian." Which brings us to the next Yankees front. Though negotiations are still in the infancy stage, the team would like Mariano Rivera to agree to a cut from last year's $15 million salary, an industry source confirmed.

Typical cheap ass Yankees, low-balling their star players. I hope he leaves them and signs with the Pirates and the wears the Pittsburgh hat when he is inducted into the HOF.

Why should Mo take a pay cut.? Unlike Jeter, who looked at the time like he was slowing down, Mo still looks like the best closer in the game.
Good luck Yankees trying to sell that to Rivera and his agent.

Why would you lowball one of the greatest and classiest players in your organization???s history? Especially on a 1 year deal. Big George must be rolling over in his grave.

Why would he agree with a paycut? There's no salary cap in baseball. Plus, he injured his knee and not his throwing arm. Don't hate!

It's all about the luxury Tax in baseball - need to keep things low so they don't kick in.

Unfortunately for the Yankees, they have a fan base that doesn't care about that and expects an all star star team every year.
