C.C. Sabathia's stay in Milwaukee will not be long, as the Brewers cannot afford to re-sign him for the 2009 season. The Yankees will be heavy contenders for Sabathia during the off-season. If Brian Cashman returns for next season, he will persue him and other big free agents, because he won't have to trade any prospects for them. The Yankees will be also intrested in first baseman Mark Teixiera, relievers Francisco Rodriguez, Brian Fuentes and Damaso Marte. If the Yankees acquire those players, they will be heavy favorites to win the World Series in 2009. The Yankees have a chance to sign them, because about $87 million will come off their $207 million payroll. Jason Giambi, Andy Pettitte, Bobby Abreu, Mike Mussina, Carl Pavano, Kyle Farnsworth and LaTroy Hawkins will be free agents. Giambi might return for a big discount. Pettitte will most likely return to pitch in the new Yankee Stadium. Abreu, Mussina and Farnsworth have a small chance to return.
