reports say Sabathia agrees to deal with Yankees

[FlockOfSeagulls]

Looks like Sabathia play in pinstripes next year. It had been reported that he wanted to play in California and in the National league. Bottom line is ''show me the money ''

The Yankees love trying to buy themselves championships. A pity for them that it hasn't worked since 2000.

it looks like 7/160, the yankees added an extra year to their previous offer. i think sabathia was willing to give a small discount to play in California but neither the dodgers nor the angels could come close to this deal.

Rats, I was hoping that the Dodgers would sign him.

Barry Zito 2.0

And 100 lbs heavier.

I wonder if Mark Texiera is next for the Yanks?

 

[zepp3320]

I think the Yankees are focusing their resources on pitching this offseason but they could make a late offer for Texeira, especially since the Red Sox are the favorites to land him.

Nope.

Next is probably AJ Burnett and/or Derek Lowe.

And Man-Ram would be better than Tex.

Also, talks the Yanks will trade Melky for Mike Cameron...

Like just about the entire Yankee lineup! Hey I'm a Yankee fan too but I'm beginning to wonder if the current management is more interested in signing big name superstars to sell tickets and jerseys than doing what really needs to be done and that's using that money to send scouts all over the world to find the youngest and best arms and building a strong farm system like the Red Sox did. In short, why are the Yankees so afraid of rebuilding? Is it really the New York media?
