CC you in hell!
Dec/080
Seven years 160 million is what it took to make CC Sabathia a New York Yankee.
I’ve touched on this before, I realize that players ALWAYS take the most money. I don’t know how anyone could look at the Brewers offer and have it trumped by 2 years and 60 million and not take it. Even if the Brewers had added the 6th year that would have been leaving 20 million dollars on the table. He’s not crazy to take the money, the Yankees just suck.
All that being said, screw him. Let’s say he took the Brewers offer of 6y/120m on the condition that he gets an out clause (ala AJ Burnett) after two years. If he’s as good as he and everyone else thinks he is he could get out then and STILL make 120 million from the Yankees meaning an extra 20m in his pocket just for playing nice with Milwaukee. It’s all about the money, I KNOW, okay? I know that, but if you are going to break the record for biggest pitching contract no matter what wouldn’t you rather play with your friends? And not A-Rah? You would right? Wouldn’t you want to play in a smaller city where Mike Lupica isn’t employed? Wouldn’t you want to play in the National League instead of the toughest division in baseball? I don’t get it..
