The New York Yankees are getting ready to offer CC Sabathia an exorbitant amount of money.
Citing two unnamed baseball executives, the New York Daily News is reporting the New York Yankees are preparing to make free agent left-hander C.C. Sabathia a ‘huge’ offer after Nov. 14. Sabathia has already been offered $100 million by the Milwaukee Brewers, who retain exclusive negotiating rights until Nov. 14.
Two executives said Wednesday at the GM meetings that they believe Sabathia will wind up in New York, based solely on the expectation that the Bombers’ offer would easily exceed all others.
Word has it that the Yankees are also prepared to deal for Jake Peavy of the Padres. The Bombers are also interested in Cole Hamels, Tim Lincecum, Cliff Lee, Brandon Webb, Johan Santana, Roy Halladay and are looking at the cost of digging up Cy Young.
