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

Gonna pull for the Tigers for the most part. But if the Phillies get knocked off in the first round now, this postseason was a monumental success.

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.

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.

Highly doubt it. Kind of sucks for him to go out like this for his last season but at least he had a good series himself. There's just no place for him with Montero.

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.

Not sure what you mean Martin probably more of a chance than Posada.

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.

I think it's almost a given that he won't be back. He even almost quit the team earlier this season, so...I don't think the Yanks will bring him back. It's sad he won't finish his career in a Yankees uniform.

My guess is he'll go DH for another team...perhaps a team like the Royals, Mariners, A's...

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.

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.

Could see the Yankees panicking and going balls out to sign Fielder, who has already said he'd have no problem being a DH.

Though if that happens, that assures A-Rod will be playing 3rd into his mid-40s for the remainder of his contract, unless they move Teixeira out of position.

Yeah, Yankees need another DH.

Their offense was shit this series, but I doubt the Yankees are going to start blaming their problems on their lineup. They need starting pitching. Bad.

Exactly. Girardi somehow patched together a rotation through the year with Freddie Garcia, Bartolo Colon, and a drunk Phil Hughes. I see them overpaying CJ Wilson more than overpaying Prince.

Question is whether Cashman comes back, whether CC opts out for more years, whether Swisher is around next year. Posada is done as a Yankee, unfortunately, it's just time to move on.

I don't think so we need more hitting then pitching. If it weren't for our hitting we would be going to the ALDS right now. I really don't think our need for starting pitching is really that big. If we over pay Prince Fielder without getting CJ Wilson I think we have all ready made ourselves a better team. We do need pitching but, right now our major problem is the middle of the lineup. ESPECIALLY A-ROD. But, on the other hand do we need Prince Fielder when we are grooming our very own Young home run hitting DH in Montero?

While what you said is true, the Yankees' demise in the ALDS could be, and shouldbe, equally attributed to having to face an extremely talented Tigers pitching rotation (although C.C.'s ineptitude starting Game 2 and in relief in Game 5 last night didn't help matters as far as N.Y.'s pitching in the series).

Actually, they would have been headed to the ALCS.

Shit! Forgot about that. The Yankees left so many people on base it was unbelievable.
