It's been nearly three weeks since the Yankees offered CC Sabathia 140 million of their hard-earned YES Network/New Yankee Stadium dollars. You may have noticed that CC hasn't said yes. Yet. The Yankees still seem supremely confident that he will, one of these days, weeks or months. But as ...

Stark's Latest: Sabathia, Furcal, Peavy
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
A few notes from Jayson Stark's latest blog post...

We're About to Sign the Wrong Old Guy
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness —
So, we're getting settled in our new home over here. You know how it is when you move to a new place; you try to remember which box you put your underwear in, you wonder if your closet is big enough to hide all the dead hookers in - you know, the usual. Anyway, let us know if you've got any issues with the new house in the comments, while we get on to more important things: the most depressing Dodger offseason in decades.

... If the Twins can indeed get Blake for $12 million over two seasons you won't hear much objection from me, because he's a quality player and the risk would be minimal. However, given that they're reportedly bidding against the Dodgers landing Blake seems unlikely without raising the salary or committing to a third year, both of which would be mistakes given that he's a mediocre 35-year-old who doesn't provide a big upgrade. Trusting Buscher and Harris while signing Affeldt or Howry would've made more sense. ...
