I know they overlap, but both the Rangers and the Yankees offered him that much, seven years apart.
That said, 9-figure contracts rarely work out. Kevin Brown, Barry Zito, Alf...for every Manny or Jeter, there seem to be a lot of busts.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Did the Jeter deal really work out though? I know he's performed well and hasn't been a bust, but I certainly don't think he's worth $189M.
