Yankees Free Agent Rumors and Links
BASEBALL HOT CORNER —
... Say goodbye: "The Angels, unwilling to meet Mark Teixeira's desire for a 10-year contract, are in discussions with CC Sabathia and could offer him a contract that approaches the $140-million bid extended to him by the New York Yankees." The Red Sox are allegedly interested in Teixiera who allegedly, really wants to play on the East Coast. Should the Angels snare Cali. native CC, the Yanks whiff on the big two and the gap to the top widens. I'll chalk this off to festering paranoia. ...

MLB Trade Rumors: C.C. Sabathia or Mark Teixeira
FakeTeams —
Uh-oh. While the New York Yankees hoped to pre-empt any competition for free agent C.C. Sabathia, Scott Boras has thrown a monkey wrench into those plans. By asking for the moon for his client 1B Mark Teixeira, he has "scared" his top suitor, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, into exploring Sabathia for less money.
The LA Times reports:

... According to Bill Shaikin and Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times, the Angels have begun contract discussions with C.C. Sabathia. The authors believe the Halos could make an offer in the range of Johan Santana's six-year, $137.5MM deal. If the Angels do make such an offer, you have to imagine the Yankees will respond by upping their bid significantly. ...

River Avenue Blues —
... we learn that the Angels are having discussions with CC Sabathia. While the timing comes somewhat of a surprise — the Angels still haven’t made an offer to Mark Teixeira — it was assumed from the start that the Halos would get involved. LA Times scribe Bill Shaikin notes that the Angels are reluctant to offer Tex the 10 years he seeks. Of course, Scott Boras will neither confirm nor deny the first baseman’s intentions. ...
LAT: Angels In On CC As Focus Drifts From Teixeira
6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog —
Probably just a negotiating ploy.
The Angels, unwilling to meet Mark Teixeira's desire for a 10-year contract, are in discussions with CC Sabathia and could offer him a contract that approaches the $140-million bid extended to him by the New York Yankees.
The Angels appear reluctant to guarantee more than seven years in a contract for Teixeira, said a source familiar with the club's thinking. They appear more likely at this time to pursue Sabathia, with an offer in the range of Johan Santana's six-year, $137.5-million contract with the New York Mets. ...

Angels zeroing in on CC Sabathia?
The Scores Report - The National Sports Blog —
Top pitching free agent CC Sabathia might be heading to a Los Angeles ball club – although not the LA club many thought he might land with.
The Angels, not the Dodgers, have apparently turned their attention from first basemen Mark Teixeira to Sabathia.

... Not a whole lot has happened since yesterday. The Angels' offer looks like it might be close to the Yankees', somewhere around 6 years/$140 million. The LA Times reports that the Angels don't want to go beyond SEVEN years. Mr. Melvin, if the Brewers' offer is 5 years for $100 million, I don't think it's going to cut it, though there might be ...

Angels Are Not Signing CC Sabathia
Larry Brown Sports —
They’re just blowing smoke, playing the game. See, the Angels’ real target is Mark Teixeira — he’s the one that really beefed up their team and rounded out their lineup. Adding Sabathia would just make the Angels pitching heavy but still leave their lineup vulnerable. Sure, he’s a nice addition for any club, but not a legitimate target for the Angels. So why all the rumors and reports floating out there? The Angels and Tony Reagins want people to think they’re interested in Sabathia because it helps them. Let’s go over the process here:
1. Boras wants monster deal (10 years) ...
