NEW YORK � Hal Steinbrenner says the New York Yankees won�t alter their policy against contract extensions and will deal with Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Joe Girardi after the season.
Speaking Tuesday following a news conference to announce details of the first bowl game at new Yankee Stadium, the team�s managing general partner says he doesn�t believe in extensions �no matter who it is.�
Jeter and Rivera can become free agents after the World Series, and Girardi�s three-year contract expires after the season.
Steinbrenner says his policy is �nothing personal.�
