MLB • Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees have agreed to a $12 million, one-year contract. The deal Friday replaces a $9.5 million player option for the 39-year-old shortstop. Jeter was limited to 17 games this year after breaking his ankle in the 2012 AL championship series opener against Detroit.

Jeter hit .190 (12 for 63) with one homer and 73 RBIs this year.

• The New York Mets declined a $25 million option on injured pitcher Johan Santana and will pay the left-hander a $5.5 million buyout. The left-hander will be 35 next season and becomes a free agent. Santana missed the 2011 and 2013 seasons following shoulder surgery. In 2012, he pitched the first no-hitter in Mets history.
