Jeter signs with Tigers
Brewers, Mets agree to trade
Wednesday, January 4, 2012

DETROIT - After spending the last nine years with the Chicago White Sox, nobody expected 37-year-old shortstop Derek Jeter to leave the Windy City for the Motor City.
But that's just what Jeter did today as he signed a two-year contract, with a player option for a third season, with the Detroit Tigers.
Jeter will be paid $19.52 million annually under the terms of what is likely his last big contract.
The three-time All Star and former Gold Glove winner hit .302 with four home runs and 61 RBI, stealing 19 bases in 108 games with the White Sox last season. In his 17-year career with the White Sox, New York Yankees and New York Mets, Jeter has put together a Hall of Fame-esque resume that includes a lifetime .308 average, 2,442 hits, 172 home runs, 1,014 RBI, 1,321 runs scored and 380 stolen bases in 1,928 games.
In other baseball news today, the Mets dealt pitchers Tom Mastny and Carlos Lerma to the Milwaukee Brewers for outfielder Craig Monroe and minor league catcher Will Ryan.
Monroe, 34, hit .219 with one homer and 23 RBI in 65 games with the Brewers last year while Ryan, 22, hit .161 with two runs scored in 19 games in rookie ball. He was a seventh round draft choice of the Brewers in 2011.
Mastny went 2-6 with 2 saves and a 4.52 ERA in 56 relief appearances for the Mets last year while Lerma, a sixth round draft selection, went 2-3 with a 4.76 ERA in seven Class A starts.
