    Big guy will be opting out today. Let's hope this doesn't drag on too long.

    Still no word on CC. Doubt that means anything but who knows.
  • Sabathia's contract extension done deal- 1-year, $25 m. for 2016, and a $5 million buyout in 2017. Total guaranteed, five years, $122 m with $25m option for '17

    CC via Twitter

    "Yankee fans, I'll be here fighting for number 28 next year,"

    Good deal for the Yanks :D

    That's a nice touch CC announcing the news himself to the fans.

    Wow. Great news. I am pretty shocked at this. Sounds like a fair deal all around. Well done to both sides.

    So this is essentially only a 1 year extension and possibly 2? I am even more suprised, he definitely could have got a guaranteed 6 year deal on the market.

    And one other thing. CC stayed true to his word (for an extra $30 mil) and the Yankees took care of this quickly and cleanly. Plenty of time to get to work on the other issues and not let this drag out. Darvish is number one on my list now that Wilson completely shit the bed in the playoffs.

    what if he wasn't going to opt out and they offered him that money for nothing.

    He was opting out if they didn't get something done. It made zero sense not to.

    He definitely did. He kept his word and the Yankees took care of him. He could have squeezed the Yankees for something absurd if he wanted to. Granted he is getting paid a shit load but if he dragged it out, he could have EASILY gotten 6 years, even though he pretty much did

    I kind of like Mark Buehrle more than any of the other pitchers sitting out there now.

    Yeah, I like him too and have always thought he would be a good pick up. He is just another softer tosser and that makes me a little nervous. Buehrle would be a good pick up in that he wouldn't be a very big contract and wouldn't have too much of an impact on the big free agent class coming up.

    I hear you. I just don't see any scenario where he wasn't going to get paid more. Just glad this was handled so well, not used to that with the Yankees
