Yes. I am sure they made a good solid offer. But common sense would say that other teams are going to make better offers. So just like he is probably thinking after feeling insulted.....Big Deal. Wht would anyone want to stay with that team after they dropped the manager after the entire season was played??????????????

It won't happen. CC isn't fat enough to play for the Brewers long term.

I still believe he will sign up with a big market team like NYY, Red Sox or LAA. Tomorrows news will be all about yanks and sox offers.

Nothing less than $160 million is going to sign Sabathia. The Brewers know this. They are only putting up a show for the fans.

1 tubby tubby... 2 tubby tubby.

The world champion Phillies could also emerge as a surprise entrant in a derby.....

I love reading that.

Enjoy the Sabathia era, Brewer fan? Wave bye bye, cause the really big bucks await somewhere else.

CC is good, but it a Brewers ploy to say atleast we tried when they do not sign him, read an article where Melvin said we have the money to offer him, if CC declines we will not spend that money on another high end pitcher. Let alone if Fielder stays the Brewers would not be able to afford the buffet table after 162 games.

CC will be a dodger. I hope he spurns the Yankees and the Sox.

After the way CC messed all over himself in the playoffs, I'm surprised anyone would want to sign him. He should be forced to wear a jersey with "Brett Myers' ****" stitched on the back!

I read that CC will stay in Milwaukee as long as they widen the slide in the left field bleachers so he can ride down it on non-pitching days.

It took me a while to find where I read it, but it was from a SI report:

"This is probably a special case,'' Melvin said. "It's not like whatever we offer him we'll have left'' to spend on someone else.

"I'm not a big free-agent guy,'' Melvin said, adding with a smile regarding his days as Texas GM, "even though I signed A-Rod.''


Like I said a ploy for the Brewers to say we tried, we lost be we tried.

agree-

They won't lock up 1/3+ of their payroll on this guy

After losing out on Johan last year, the Hank the Yank won't let this one go. Probably close to $150 million. That's alot of twinkies for CC...

He is a good pitcher but did he win the Brewers a playoff series? He got them into the playoffs. Let him walk. Dont forget how he choked against the Sox in 07.

He did it the year before with the Indians too, yet the league still went crazy.

This being election day and all, I feel I should get on my bully pulpit and push my political agenda. I would like to expand upon my campaign slogan of "No Tomorrows." As you all know, the proliferation of nuclear weapons is a concern to us all. After countless hours engaged in exahustive research, my crack team of scientists have confirmed what I've thought all along: What's the best way to get rid of nuclear weapons? USE 'EM!

Good for the Brewers that they are trying to make a serious offer and show their fanbase that they will try to compete but realistically they know they have no chance. Knowing the Yankees will blow away any offer the player's union as well as his agent will not advise CC to leave moeny on the table. If CC gets a big payday then every pitcher next year gets one as well.

The Angels need to pass on K-"non-clutch" Rod and Mark "bat for hire" Texeira and make a run for CC. That would make for a punishing pitching staff and groom another closer.
