Go to 6/175. He would never turn that down. We have money to spend this year and we NEED a No. 1 starter!

If you were Sabathia’s agent and wanted to get the most money you could, wouldnt it seem to be beneficial to leak rumors that CC want to stay in the west and play for an NL team. How else can you get the yankees to make such a hih opening bid.

the next step is to have the Angels make a 130 million dollar offer and conviently leak that so the yankees will raise their offer even further.

this mau all be true, or this agent may be a genious who is exploiting an existing rumor which brilliantly

There is approximately no way the Yankees allow the man who they would be paying $140 million over six years to anchor their rotation to bat ever outside of interleague play. It just wouldn’t happen. Ruth made pennies compared what Sabathia stands to make and no one is going to gamble on that contract.

Didn’t he have Weaver turn down an extension from the Dodgers in the neighborhood of 4/$40m ?

Imagine if I had written an article about this proposal… wow it would have gotten shot down quickly, haha. Thats why I love this site; examine eachothers arguments for fallacy in a constructive fashion.

After what happened to Wang this year, there’s no chance in hell that would happen. If they even considered it, I’m sure Hank would start screaming at everyone he could find…
