Unconfirmed Rumor: Sabathia Declines Yankee Offer

[defense]

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!

Teixeira TIME!!

That'd be awesome losing games that Ian Kennedy starts 13-10.

Signing Teixeira doesn't mean we can't sign another starter. I'd be thrilled if we can get a bat like Teixeira and an arm like Burnett

Peavy has said he doesn't want to play in New York and has a no-trade clause to there.

I heard that he said he'd waive the clause to play in NY.

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