December 10, 200817 yr Link please? I know that Cashman made a trip to SF while he was in Vegas, but that's the extent of it. Granted, I'm in Afghanistan and don't have ESPN up on the television........http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3758724 Later.
December 10, 200817 yr http://www.nypost.com/seven/12102008/sports/yankees/yanks_close_in_on_sabathia_deal_143481.htm
December 10, 200817 yr ^Cool. As a Yankees fan, I'm shocked. I really didn't think I'd see him in the pinstripes, but a lefty as good as he is, is a nice addition to the mound. Later.
December 10, 200817 yr Here's a CNNSI story: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/12/10/sabathia.yankees/index.html Later.
December 10, 200817 yr Author I think the deal was 6 years for ~140 million and the biggest contract ever for a pitcher.
December 10, 200817 yr I think the deal was 6 years for ~140 million and the biggest contract ever for a pitcher. A contract that big will definitely do it for a guy that said he wanted to play in the NL and wanted to play on the west coast. Later.
December 10, 200817 yr Anyone who didnt think the Yankees would just buy this guy doesnt pay much attention to baseball. This is another example of why I hate the Yankees.
December 10, 200817 yr Word is now that the contract is seven years for $160 million ... an extra year at $20 million as an extra sweetener to the deal.
December 10, 200817 yr Say he gets 35 starts, if he doesn't win 30 games this contract is a wash and that is paying almost $650,000 for each win.
December 10, 200817 yr Author http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3759182 You were correct westsider
December 10, 200817 yr Even though it is the American League he could still be one of the best left handed hitters the Yanks will have next season....lol.
December 10, 200817 yr Even though it is the American League he could still be one of the best left handed hitters the Yanks will have next season....lol. Yeah, but not a chance ole Hank is going to let him run the bases in the AL. :lol:
December 10, 200817 yr I'll never understand why people hate the Yankees for spending money. It's not their problem the owner of your team wants to make money more than win baseball games.
