Happy about getting CC. Contract is ridiculous but whatever, Yankees needed him badly. The opt out thing doesn't really bother me. Worst case scenario is he leaves after 3 years and the Yankees get him for his prime pitching years. Unless he completely bombs and the Yanks have him for 7 years, I guess that is the worst case scenario. Anyway, happy no matter what about that deal.
Not a fan of giving Burnett such a ridiculous offer though. Doubt it works out well but what can you do. Although a rotation of Sabathia-Wang-Burnett-Pettitte-Joba does look pretty great. Hopefully they get Pettitte back for this next season. That way Hughes starts in the minors and comes up when Burnett gets hurt. Then next year he can slide into the rotation when Pettitte's gone.
