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. Burnett.)
The union is going to be pissed if he signs for less. I hope he does....
If that rumor is true, I hope we don't break the bank for Lowe now. Put the money towards Teixeira!
Teixeira TIME!!
OH, and it might be Peavy time in NY too!
That'd be awesome losing games that Ian Kennedy starts 13-10.Quote:

Recent rumors are that a 4 way deal is in the works involving the Cubs, Padres, Phillies, and Orioles.Quote:

Yeah, but not 26!
If he did (which I hope not). Its about time. Aa a Yankees fan I want him to come but its been a while. He could have said like on NBA Live, reject all offers and he wants to stay and test the market.

Would seem to back up the SF meeting part of the first link posted. Not that I am happy about that. I wish they would pursue Tex instead.
I heard the Nationals are making a big pursuit for him.Quote:

I knew there was some rumor floating around when my iPhone suddenly lit up with a dozen e-mails. Yep. Somebody reported that CC Sabathia turned down the Yankees. It’s not true...
It's the Winter Meetings. What else is new?Quote:

Rumor is that there is a deal in the works with Jose Guillen going to Detroit for Gary Sheffield and Marcus Thames. Detroit might have to throw in a couple of minor leaguers as well.
