NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- 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.

He is in the last year of his Yankees contract, and the listing of his penthouse will raise speculation he's ready to leave New York, the Daily News said.

Jeter also has homes in Marlboro, N.J., and upstate Greenwood Lake in New York, and is building a 30,000-square-foot mansion in Tampa.
