Yankees sign CC Sabathia for three years, $69MM with a four year, $92MM player option.Analysis: Law, Szymborski, Sheehan, Calcaterra.7/161 would've been fine. But I hate the opt-out clause.You can break the deal down into two parts, as I did above. The first 3yr/$69MM portion is definitely a good deal for the Yankees; it's been estimated that Sabathia will be worth about...

NEW YORK, NYa?"The signing of CC Sabathia by the Yankees on Wednesday presented the Yankees with one answer to two of their problems: shoring up their porous pitching staff, and a way to destroy the old Yankee Stadium.

Brewers/Sabathia
It seems like the Brewers are doing everything they can to try to entice Sabathia to stay with them. They may be willing to add a sixth year and an opt out clause after 3 years. They also may be willing to go up to 120 million dollars. If this is true then I think Sabathia would seriously ...

Sabathia meets with Yanks Again
Sabathia met with the Yanks again today. Judging by what I`ve heard lately, I`m feeling optimistic about our chances with him. I think he may sign a deal by the end of the meetings, just a hunch though.
CC Sabathia is Dead to Me
It was fun while it lasted Captain Cheeseburger, but now you're just another one of the sell-outs who yapped and yapped about what was truly important to you - West Coast, chance to hit, blah blah blah blah blah - and ended up taking the biggest, fattest, greasiest contract you could get courtesy of the [...]

During that time, Greg Maddux spurned $15 million "Yankee dollars" to sign with [...]

It's the question that nobody wants to ask. With Yankee Land seemingly revolving around the gigantic left handed planet known as CC, we should take into thought what would happen should Sabathia spurn the Yankees $140 million dollar offer and sign elsewhere. I shutter to think.Would the world end?I suppose not. But I think some sort of mass hysteria would ensue in Yankee-ville. Fans...
