Chapter 3 covered Jeter and spring training. He came very close to not
heading
north, so we almost traded Mariano for (gag) Felix Fermin. Fermin was
released
later in spring training, and never played another game in the majors.
What a
disaster that would have been.

My heart just skipped a beat reading that. Scary thought.

Make that 2 of us. BTW, that wasn't the last time thet considered trading him
that year. Torre was quoted as asking Watson to field offers all teams for
Rivera.
