NEW YORK, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- The New York Yankees and Derek Jeter announced Tuesday they have worked out a three-year deal with the veteran shortstop having a fourth-year option.
The team isn't saying how much it will pay Jeter to stick around but earlier reports said he was looking for at least $51 million.
The Yankees paid Jeter $189 million over the past 10 years.
Jeter, 36, batted a career-worst .270 with 10 home runs and 67 RBI in 2010 but won his fifth Gold Glove and scored 111 runs.
"We didn't want him going anywhere," Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said. "This was a long negotiation like they always are.
This was one of the big topics for this particular winter."
Team Manager Joe Girardi called Jeter "a true Yankee."

New York -- The New York Yankees' Derek Jeter has put his Manhattan Trump World Tower penthouse up for sale at an asking price of $20 million, Tower officials said.
The shortstop's four-bedroom, 5,425-square-foot loft on the 88th floor was listed on the Trump Sales and Leasing Web site, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
"Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a penthouse on top of The Trump World Tower," the Web site listing says.
The apartment also has 5.5 bathrooms, a fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, dining room, media room, living room, library, gallery and powder room.
Jeter bought the high-rise residence for $12.6 million from Donald Trump in 2001, shortly after signing a $189 million, 10-year deal with the Yankees.

New York -- New York Yankees player Derek Jeter sent gifts and words of encouragement to a 16-month-old heart transplant patient who shares his name, the boy's parents say.
Jeter Villacis, who had surgery two weeks ago after being diagnosed with an enlarged heart in August, will go home with a Yankees backpack filled with more team items, such as a doll, hats, team clothes, a book, and -- most important -- the letter from the Yankees star, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.
"Life is a daily challenge, some more challenging than others, but you are a true star for giving it your all, and I strongly admire your strength and courage," the shortstop said in a heartfelt letter after reading about the little boy's plight in the Daily News.

New York, Oct. 7 -- Derek Jeter's two-run homer brought New York back from an early deficit Wednesday and the Yankees opened the playoffs with a 7-2 victory over Minnesota.
Less than 24 hours after winning a dramatic tiebreak game over Detroit in Minneapolis, the Twins had to take the field against the team with the best record in baseball. Minnesota, which had won 17 of 21 games heading into the American League Division Series, continued to ride an emotional high by jumping to a 2-0 lead in the third.
Jeter then hit his home run in the bottom half of the inning and it was all New York after that. The teams will have an off day Thursday before resuming the best-of-five series in New York Friday.
