C.C. Sabathia?

[Brion McClanahan]

I know this might be a REAL long shot, but since the Os want a LHSP, do you think they would take a look at Sabathia? Not sure NY wants him back, nor if CC would go back considering how they treated him in the post season, though NY certainly looks like the leading contender in the AL right now and CC would want a ring.

He could be a Rick Sutcliffe kind of signing from the early 90s, a guy who could mentor Gausman and Bundy and maybe Harvey, not that he is the ideal character man, but he did show guile in going to get help for his addiction.

Maybe a two year contract with the second year as a player option?

I'd give him a 1 year deal, but I doubt he'd consider us.  My bet is he stays in NY.

[clapdiddy]

I think CC would be a great guy to go after if we were a contender, so I think the answer for now is "no".

[TommyPickles]

I'd be happy to get CC and I think he fits the "veteran on a short term contract" and "lefty" interests expressed by DD...

 

But, I feel like we've had this thread like three times already this offseason. People are gonna come in and say:

"He already said he wants to stay in NY"

"The Yankees will resign him now that they missed out on Ohtani"

"He wouldn't pass an Os physical"

"He wants to play for a contender at this stage of his career"

"We'd have to overpay for him"

"Os won't get him."

 

...and they would most likely be right.

It's pretty clear the NYYs want him back, but it looks like they will try to dump some salary before deciding. I think he'll wait for that situation to get clarified before signing elsewhere. 

[mdbdotcom]

He wants to win.

[Sir_Loin]

I figure he will sign with Yankees. Also see the Yankees trading Frazier to get Cole as mentioned. 

[Can_of_corn]

I read that he was talking to the Angels.

[MDtransplant757]

I'd love to have him.

I’ll all for it but I honestly don’t know why he would want to pitch here. Have to think he would get better, at least similar terms in a better pitching environment or place to win.  

[sportsfan8703]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see CC get 2/30 in this market.

Sabathia and the Yankees agreed to a 1 year contract for $10 million.  Just pending a physical.

The Yankees have just made one good move after another over the last two years.    I’m sure Sabathia could have gotten more money elsewhere, but now CC is seeing that this is a WS caliber team and he’s got a good shot at a ring by staying put.    It’s not like he needs the money.
