Brian Cashman did a lot of talking and hand holding these last three days to get Sabathia to sign. The Yankees, a franchise that seemingly has a love affair with hefty lefties, offered Sabathia the largest contract ever to a pitcher.
A $161 million, seven-year contract, with a three year opt-out clause, should keep him stuffed with cheeseburgers. Ruth, Wells, Sabathia…. where is Jared Lorenzen? It’s not like the Yankees didn’t toy with Elway and Drew Henson.
When people say this guy will anchor the staff, well they aren’t kidding.
