10 Burning MLB Offseason Questions
FOX Sports.com has 10 burning questions for baseball’s offseason.
5 Can Milwaukee hang on to CC Sabathia?
The Brewers are already facing the loss of Ben Sheets, so they’ll probably need to bring Sabathia back if they hope to win the tough NL Central. Obviously, the Brewers don’t have the resources to hang with the Yankees, Angels, Dodgers, and Red Sox should those teams enter the bidding. But Sabathia loves hitting, and he enjoyed his time in Milwaukee…
4 Where will Manny Ramirez wind up?
This past season, Manny Ramirez hit .332 AVG/.430 OBP/.601 SLG with 37 bombs. Obviously, that’s an elite level of production. On the other hand, Manny is 36 and an ongoing disaster in the outfield. He’s going to command a big contract, but it’s not certain how big and with whom. Ramirez’s agent, Scott Boras, is angling for a five- or six-year deal, but that’s probably not going to happen. The Dodgers will certainly push to bring him back, and the Blue Jays may be a surprise bidder…3 How will the Yankees spend those dollars?
The Yankees’ 14-year playoff run came to an end, and that likely means a frantic winter in the Bronx. They’ve got a good bit of money coming off the payroll, and of course they’ll be moving into a palatial new ballpark next season. So expect them to spend with impunity. They’ll likely pass on their option on Jason Giambi, which means they could be in the mix for Mark Teixeira. They’ll certainly be angling for CC Sabathia, and they’ve also got decisions to make on Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte…1 Who will be the Phillies’ GM next season?
Fresh off the third World Series title of his career, Phillies GM Pat Gillick may be bound for retirement (and, eventually, the Hall of Fame). If he goes, then in all likelihood the job will fall to either Ruben Amaro Jr. or Mike Arbuckle, two longtime Philly lieutenants. Or will Gillick have a change of heart and come back to defend his championship?…
I’ll go ahead and answer the above questions for FOX:
CC Sabathia to the Yankees.
Manny Ramirez to the Yankees.
Yankees will overspend the Yankees dollars.
The Yankees will be the Phillies’ GM next season.

I woul be shocked if Sabathia stays in Milwaukee. It’s pretty clear he only cares about the money.
I hope the Yankees load up and get back into it. They have fresh cash from guys leaving plus they will not be sharing their wealth now that they have the new stadium debt that comes first. I hope the bottom feeders saved some of the money that George was paying them these past 8 years because the only money they’re going to get now will come from Obama…
Hope they voted for him
Warm Up AL East….
Hey Marty …….. are you drunk ? If I were you I would move to Connecticut and leave the Evil Empire State.
