Yanks offer to C.C. Sabathia:6 years, 160 million $

[areobee401]

If he does sign with the Yankess would his contract combined with A-Rod's be close to some teams yearly salary?

Winning games is only half the battle in baseball...you know they get players to make money for them, right?

CC=fans in the seats/merch/food...so much more than just a baseball game.

Pretty sure A-Rod made more than the entire Marlins' roster last year alone, so yes, him and CC would equal a team or two, I'm sure.

And that may be wrong...I know they said something about Manny making more than the Marlins, so I'm assuming A-Rod did as well. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

This is why everyone hates the Yankees. I wouldn't mind seeing him sign and then fall flat on his face. I'm sure he'll say it's an honor to be in those pinstripes... yeah right, it's an honor to see all those dollar signs. The Yankees disgust me. Just when we thought they were getting better by using their farm system too...

Some of the posts in this topic are pretty lol worthy.

Realistically I see them signing 2 of Sabathia, Texeira, Lowe, and Burnett. More likely on them offering a bigger offer to Tex if they can't sign CC. Cashman has said numerous times that he doesn't want to exceed the payroll from last year.

They aren't going to sign Texiera because they just traded for Swisher. I Cashman and co. are that stupid but antything is possible. If they do sign him, 2009 Yankees payroll 350 million plus??

Well, people can't hate on the Yankees for winning anymore, so they need to focus on the ridiculous contracts they hand out.

They're not out of it for Tex, Cash might say that Swisher is gonna play 1b next year but that's just a way to leverage his position. It probably is a little less likely that they''ll get Tex since they're not as desperate but if you don't think the Yanks are considering Tex for 1st and Swisher in a corner outfield spot, you don't know how smart Cashman can be.
