Derek Jeter - 10 years, $189 million
Thanks to A-Rod's 10-year, $252-million deal of 2001, the Yankees felt compelled to reward their own superstar shortstop, who, unlike Rodriguez, had actually won championships before. However, Jeter had four World Series rings when he signed this deal in 2001 -- the same as he has right now.
