My the gods of baseball strike down the Indians GM if CC ends up as a Yankee.

Here we go again...first Santana now Sabathia.

Yeah, Santana was destined for the Yanks as well.

Does this mean Sabathia will be a Met?

If the Indians are smart, they would look to trade by year end

Wow, shocker. The dark side of the force will prevail once again. The Yankees are the Hustler Magazine of player signings.

Why is it more "logical" to see him with the Yankees than it might be to see him with the Mets, Cubs, Dodgers, Angels etc., etc., etc.?

They ALL have serious cash to spend for top talent......

I grant you the Yankees will be VERY interested but Yankee interests don't define baseball and Sabathia's interests will prevail here ultimately.

CC will fit right in with the FAT **** running the team!

Don't know if the Yanks will want him or need him. this depends on a lot of variables happening this year. And, my gut feeling is don't go after him.

Of course if they let it get to free agency, Boston will get into the mix.

I still contend signing CC to a long term deal (anything over 4 or 5 years guaranteed) is a huge risk.

It is never going to happen it is a pipe dream for the Yankees. IMO the Indians have a better chance of winning a WS in the next few years than the Yankees do.

He could go anywhere...

trading Sabathia this year would be stupid.. How could you say if the Indians were smart they should.

the Indians are one of the top 3 teams in the A.L.

I disagree, with the statement "Yankees Interests dont define baseball" Yankee's Interests have redefined baseball entirely! Without a big budget blockbuster team like this willing to throw money at what they need, baseball salaries as a whole would not be where they are today. The yankees are seen as that team that throws money around like water and in most cases that is somewhat true... But they have been paying big time players what other teams are just starting to pay these guys and have been doing so for a few years now... You can hate the yankees because every player in the bigs dreams to play for them if you soo choose but they are good for the game because they force other rich owners to get off their ****e$ and start spending some of that money that they are banking each month!

The Indians might as well give the Tigers the AL Central if they let Sabathia walk. However, if the Mets with Santana and the Red Sox get further in October than the Yankees this year, don't be surprised to see the Yankees throw the bank at him next winter.

Even still, there's no way he can remain durable pitching in the AL at that weight.

C.C will be a Blue Jay! Woooooooooo!!!!!
Just had to chime in the speculation...

Does it concern anyone else that "The Yankees have more than $75 million coming off their payroll after this season"? That's more than some teams have on their payroll. Bring on a salary cap, please!
