CC Sabathia Record Breaking $160 Million Deal With Yankees

  

CC Sabathia and his, im sure, extremely happy wife Amber Sabathia will now be making their home in New York, as CC is reportedly signing a deal with the New York Yankees for a record setting $160 million over seven years.

On Tuesday, general manager Brian Cashman flew to San Francisco to meet Sabathia for the third consecutive day, but this time, this included Amber. It’s been known that CC wanted to pitch in California, where he grew up and where he makes his home. Amber herself had expressed interest in CC pitching for the Giants. Giants GM Brian Sabean said today:

“CC has pitched in New York, he’s pitched in New York in the playoffs and he was in the American League for a long time,” Girardi says. “”He knows what New York is about, and I think CC’s personality would work very well in New York.”

“If we decide we’re going to get involved we will have a meeting and make our presentation,” Giants general manager Brian Sabean said. “But we’re not there yet. …We don’t have any expectations. He’s certainly playing the field. There’s no pressure on us to do something or to sign him. It’s a fallback position to look at because there’s player interest, and why wouldn’t we be interested if he is? It’s as simple as that.”
