Eli's MLB Rumors:
According to Tom Haudricourt, the Giants and Angels will enter the bidding for free agent pitcher CC Sabathia. The Yankees and Brewers already have offers on the table, and the Dodgers are still considering making him an offer. Several insiders believe Sabathia has not pounced on the Yankees offer because of his preference for the NL, so if the Giants make a solid offer, he could jump on it. Sources with knowledge of Giants plans have informed me that the Giants will make Sabathia an offer that will pay him more annually, but not as much in total contract. So a five year deal worth 100-115 million dollars makes sense.

I am not stupid. I know that 6/130 and he's a Giant. Or a Yankee. Or a Dodger. But why can't the Brewers sign him? 1) It doesn't sound like he's fired up and ready to go into pinstripes. Sabathia is a man who already has a wife and two kids. And the fact of the matter is that he seems to be a ...

There has been some talk recently that the MLBPA is suggesting or pressuring C.C. Sabathia to accept the Yankees offer of 6 years and $140 million. For the MLBPA to even get involved in this issue sets a horrible precedent for baseball and its players. I understand that the MLBPA exists to watch out for its players and to fight to put them in the best situation possible, but there...
