Via George King, the Yankees have a contract offer prepared for CC Sabathia and plan to delivery it to their ace shortly. No word on the terms of the contract, but you can be sure it’s substantial. My guess: five-years and $125M with an option. We heard on Wednesday that the team would like to get Sabathia signed to an extension before he opts out of his current contract, and they would be okay with a five- or six-year deal.
Looking at this from CC’s point of view … you’ve come this far, why not at least see what the open market has to offer? Wouldn’t that make sense for him? Doesn’t matter to me though, I just want the big guy back as soon as possible.
Update: Now that the World Series is going to Game Seven, we know that Sabathia’s opt-out decision is due by Monday at the latest.
