Unconfirmed report: Sabathia declines Yankees
Scott Proctor's Arm - A New York Yankees Blog —
From Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News (via MLB Trade Rumors): It’s been confirmed to me that the Giants had discussions with CC Sabathia’s camp last night, and they expect to have face-to-face meetings with the left-hander in San Francisco after the winter meetings. It sure must’ve have been a productive discussion, because word is that Sabathia has declined the Yankees’ six-year, $140 million offer. (I must stress that’s unconfirmed, but talk is spreading fast. If true, look for the Yanks to get hyper-aggressive on A.J. ...

RUMOR: CC declines offer…Yankees out of Sabathia sweepstakes?
Zell's Pinstripe Blog —
The Yankees are rumored to be out of the sweepstakes. I haven’t heard anything else on this, but this is interesting. Hard to believe that he would reject the offer before getting any other offers. Don’t get crazy guys..this might not be true. Extra Baggs (Giants Beat Writer) It’s been confirmed to me that the Giants had discussions with CC Sabathia’s camp last night, and they expect to have face-to-face meetings with the left-hander in San Francisco after the winter meetings.

... In a crazy turn of events, the San Jose Mercury News is reporting that free agent lefty CC Sabathia has declined the Yankees 6 yr/140m, and will instead sign with another team or stay with the Brew Crew. ...
Rumor of the Day: Sabathia Says No to Yankees
My Pinstripes —
The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that CC Sabathia has rejected the Yankees 6-year, $140 million offer. While this may be true, we also realize San Jose isn't far from San Francisco whose team will be meeting with the lefty this weekend. The Giants are expected to make a huge offer of their own. ...
Yanks Given the Boot, Brewers Frontrunner for CC?
Chuckie Hacks —
A guy with the San Jose Mercury News is now reporting that CC has "declined" the Yankees' $140 million offer, and that the Brewers are emerging as the frontrunner, as perceived by an "executive close to the CC Sabathia talks." Most likely, that "executive" is named either Doug Melvin or Gord Ash . My opinion on this matter has not changed. I'm not buying it. Why would CC decline any offer at this point, especially the one that is worth the most? God bless him if he's showing the Yankees the door, though. It would suck if they signed both Sheets and Sabathia, in that the ...

... . Like him or not (I do most of the time) Francesca has enormous influence in this town and rants like this will not help Sabathia make a transition to New York. (If he chooses to make one I should say.) A few weeks ago, he would have come in as a savior, now the tide is turning and people are getting angry. It's understandable and predictable with the current economic mess, but unfortunate. Then again, it may all be a moot point. ...

Today's Sabathia Nonsense
Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog —
Oh these winter meetings, how they can drive a fan slowly insane. I was away from a computer all day and I'm glad I was. If I was not I would have had to post several false rumors that would have probably drove some of you a little bit crazy. First there was a report from Tony Jackson that said that the Giants were "supremely confident" they would sign CC. Then there was a (unconfirmed) report that Sabathia rejected the Yankees $140 million dollar offer. An hour later there was a report stating that the Yankees were out and the ...

Winter Meetings and the San Francisco Giants, Day IV
McCovey Chronicles —
... An aside: Ten years ago, hardly anyone cared about the Winter Meetings or the Rule 5 Draft. Today, if a beat writer forgets to put the word "unconfirmed" in big flashing text next to a Winter Meetings rumor, he becomes the mortal enemy of the Yankees Army of Truth, and the Rule 5 draft creates enough buzz to bring down a ...
That’s never happened before
River Avenue Blues —
... * I will never be able to hear Baggarly’s name and not think back to this report. He ran with an unconfirmed rumor that “Sabathia has declined the Yankees’ six-year, $140 million offer.” While that might have technically been true — Sabathia ended up signing for more — it was just horrible timing on Baggarly’s part. Cashman flew to San Francisco that very night and got to work on Sabathia’s contract. ...
