LAS VEGAS - CC Sabathia has informed the Yankees that he wants to pitch for them, Newsday has confirmed, and the team is "extraordinarily optimistic" that an agreement will be reached for seven years and about $160 million.

actually cc is great late in season, that is what we need. We need an ace and there are very few out there, we had to overpay....

Subway Series...here we come!

Mets finally have their closer too. Now we'll just have to hope Minaya gets us better relievers for Rodriguez.


And by the way, I'm not mad about it, but Mets threads usually get locked. Just saying.

baseball needs a salary cap. as much as I like the Yankees, this is ridiculous. Some are saying that with revenues of the new Yankee Stadium, the Yankees will increase their salary even more! Fu*king ridiculous! We should trade Eddy Curry to them.

WOWWWWW --- have the Yankees not learned their lesson (Randy Johnson, Pavano, etc...)? Plus CC looks like a guy who just doesn't take health/exercise seriously. In two years, he could become a perpetual DL candidate.

TERRIBLE MOVE!

CC has no history of injuries. He pitches alot. 250+ innings. Pretty ridiculous.
