Ace C.C. Sabathia announced on his official website that he has decided to end talks with the Indians about a possible contract extension until after the season.
This off-season, through my representatives at Legacy Sports Group, I have discussed the possibility of a contract extension with the Cleveland Indians. At this time, we haven’t been able to reach agreement. Now that the reporting date for spring training is here, it is time to put aside contract discussions so that I can focus all of my energies and attention on preparing for the upcoming season.
Fear not Tribe fans – GM Mark Shapiro has already stated that he will not deal Sabathia this season. It’s actually refreshing to see an athlete put off his own person financial gains to concentrate on an upcoming season.
