After he clarified remarks that seemed to indicate he would be willing to play elsewhere, it's clear that Derek Jeter wants to stay with the Yankees until he finally retires.

All the Yankees will have to do is pay Jeter, who is signed through 2013 and has a player option for 2014. Kevin Kernan of the New York Post suggests that the team should reward him with a new deal this coming winter.

At 38, Jeter leads the Majors with 203 hits.

Teammate Alex Rodriguez can't see Jeter playing for another team.

"That'll never happen," Rodriguez said. "I never see Derek playing in a [different] uniform. I see him forever for the next 1,000 years in pinstripes. Even when he's 50 or 60, who knows? He'll still be probably helping out and being a leader and being a captain to the Yankee franchise."
