(Side note, this story is developing and now multiple sources are reporting the deal is seven years and $160 million. Interesting that the average per year is actually slightly lower in the new deal from the original ...

The Yankees have signed left-handed free agent prize CC Sabathia to a 7yr/160mil deal. What are OTM's thoughts on this? Personally I think in a way it's not too bad. This means the Yankees most likely will not be in heavily on Teixeira, which means they'll have failed to address their real need of hitting. I also think that CC will be as good as advertised for the first three years or so, but in years six and seven I think they'll be way ...

And while some Angels baseball people are fantasizing about Sabathia, Moreno suggested Sabathia isn't even the ...

Reports this morning from Jayson Stark , Jon Heyman , Joel Sherman , Ken Rosenthal and Buster Olney have the Yankees getting what they came for, so to speak, and bringing CC Sabathia to New York. The majority of them indicate that the Yankees have raised their offer, from 6 years and $140 million to 7 years and $160 million. This drops the average annual salary from $23.3 million a year to $22.8. So, an odd $500,000 a year less, with a higher total value. Sabathia hasn't yet put his name on the dotted line, but the various sources say that ...

Brian Cashman wasn't going to haul a** out to the Bay Area for nothing and by the time I awoke, the baseball world was already all agog over the Newest Pinstripe. With no other serious bidder out there, Sabathia was able to extract another year out of Brian Cashman for a 7-year, $161 million deal with an opt-out clause after three seasons. That's good for The Big Guy and even better for his agent, Greg Genske, who can now bask in the ...
