Such a disappointing loss to end the season.
Not gonna get far when the whole middle of your lineup look like they've never even played baseball before though. |

CC Sabathia has an "opt-out clause" after this season, right?
Not saying anything...just asking. |

Yes. He will probably opt out and then hold them up for a larger contract because the Yankees do not have a lot of options this off-season. The free agent pool for pitchers this year is rather shallow.

Maybe he's like "Ok, I won a ring, now I can get out of New York", and he'll just go somewhere else, to a winning team, where he's got less pressure on him and can get paid decently...
...or maybe he'll just return to NY. |

Yeah, no. He will take the money and pitch in New York.

Yeah, I think there's a high probability he'll either be pitching with the Yankees next year or pitching with another team...

He'd probably only leave New York to go back to Cali, and I dunno if any of those teams can afford him. Maybe Anaheim.

Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankees lose

Sabathia's definitely coming back. He'll just get some extra money and an extra year or two.

I think it basically comes down to if he's happy in NY or not. Its not likely gonna be a money issue so it all depends on if he likes being there or not. But yeah, if he leaves I'm sure it'll be to a Cali team.

I don't think CC cares about money anymore. He's got his World Series ring, so it does come down to if he's happy in New York or not. Or, if he'd rather be in a team where he doesn't have as much pressure on him, and has a decent chance at winning but without the added pressure that pitching in NY puts on him.

I think CC will be a Yankee next year but, here's the real question will Posada?

They haven't offered him anything past the contract he already has, they usually don't discuss extensions until deals run out.
He still has four years left on his deal after this year. He just has the option to opt out of it. I imagine they'll try to tack on another year or two to his current deal. If he doesn't go for that he obviously doesn't wanna be there. |

Well the Yankees better do 1 of 2 things. 1. Groom Montero to be a good catcher. or 2. Groom Romine to be a good catcher. With Posada maybe gone, and Martin probably more of a chance then Posada. We're kinda stuck with Montero /Cervelli unless you want to trade for another catcher.

Martin's still arbitration eligible so if the Yankees want him back he'll be back for another year. Seems like a sure bet he'll be back as catcher next year. |

He probably meant to say that Martin has more of a chance of being on the team next year than Posada.

CC does enjoy hitting. Maybe a return to the NL?
Who could afford him, though? Would the Cubs throw half their payroll at him? |

Now, I am even a little worried about CC joining the Cubs. And with the free agents as shitty as they are when it comes to pitching. Something tells me that the Yankees have no choice but to put together a big package and blow Seattle or another team away just to get another # 1 Starter. I really shutter to think what that could possibly mean. But, I really think we need CC right now for 2012.

Congats Tigers, great team. Yankees sucked. At least A-Rod and Swish admitted they did, Tex is in denial.

I think the Cubs should forget Feilder and Puljos and go get CC and CJ. That's playoffs right there.

I am utterly clueless about this thing. So I am just curious if CC goes to the Cubs do the Yankees get any picks at all? Once again I am still kinda new to this whole thing so I am just curious.

If the Dodgers have their shit together I can see them offering C.C. enough money to lure him out of New York. That's a big IF though.
