In one of the most pointless blog posts of all time, MLB Trade Rumors' Ben Nicholson-Smith puts together a list of potential suitors if Jeter were to leave the Bronx. Not surprisingly, nearly every Major League club could use a career .315 hitter and perennial All Star.
Let me make this an easy list for you. The Yankees, if they want to continue playing in the Bronx, will be the only team to re-sign Jeter for the rest of his career.

Berkman Gets Most Important Hit as Yankee
Lance "Big Puma" Berkman, the long-time Houston Astro who was traded to the Yankees prior to the deadline, had perhaps his most important hit as a Yankee, as far as Red Sox fans are concerned.
Berkman smoked a grounder during batting practice that found its way to the inside of Alex Rodriguez's left ankle. A-Rod apparently was distracted by saying hello to Fox announcer Joe Buck when the ball hit him. According to the New York Post, Rodriguez didn't even see it coming. He was looking off to the side and started hopping around like a school girl at recess.
Teammates Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira found the whole scene rather amusing, as did most people who don't really like A-Rod all that much. Best quote in all of this?
Berkman, hitting .176 after 10 games with the Yankees, said, "Clearly, I'm sorry, but it's not like I was trying to hit him in the teeth and missed lower." We know, Lance, we know. The front office was just happy that you finally made contact that didn't lead to an out.
