They made a six-year offer to Sabathia on Nov. 14, the first day free agents could start negotiating money. The proposal exceeds Johan Santana’s $137.5 million, six-year contract with the New York Mets both in total and average, but there has been no public response from Sabathia or his agents. winter meetings 即將在下週展開 洋基有先發的洞要補 他們在11/14(自由球員可以談交易的第一天) 就對沙巴提了一份6年的合約 這份合約在總金額和平均上都超過梅子給Santana的 6年 137.5M 但是沙巴和他的經紀人一直都沒有任何公開的回應 New York has been trying to gauge its odds of landing the top available free-agent starting pitcher. 紐約(洋基)一直在衡量簽下頂尖的自由先發投手的機會有多大 Boras represents pitchers Derek Lowe and Oliver Perez, who also are free agents. In addition, his available clients this offseason include first baseman Mark Teixeira and outfielder Manny Ramirez. In addition to Sabathia, the Yankees may be interested in Lowe and A.J. Burnett, another free-agent pitcher. Bora$是投手Derek Lowe和Oliver Perez的經紀人 這兩人也都是自由球員 他也是一壘手Teixeira和外野手Manny的經紀人 除了沙巴外洋基也對Lowe和A.J. Burnett有興趣 Cashman and Boras did not immediately return messages. 現金人和Bora$都沒回記者的電話 ------------- 除了AP以外 NY Times NY Post 等報也都有這個消息 The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/05/sports/baseball/05sabathia.html?ref=sports The Yankees have continued to negotiate with Sabathia, and they would like to sign him next week. But they have not sensed the usual enthusiasm that accompanies a splashy Yankees offer. (...) If the Angels sign Teixeira – as they insist they are trying to do -- they would probably not sign Sabathia. But if Teixeira leaves, the theory goes, they might. That seems unlikely, especially after the Angels offered salary arbitration to starter Jon Garland, who may very well take it after a poor second half. But the hope of an overture from the Angels, apparently, explains Sabathia's delay. (...) The San Francisco Giants have been aggressive this winter, guaranteeing more than $16 million for next season to shortstop Edgar Renteria and relievers Jeremy Affeldt and Bobby Howry. They also have five years left on Barry Zito's seven-year, $126 million contract, and annual debt service to finance their ballpark. In other words, there may not be much money left for Sabathia – certainly not $23 million per season, and probably no more than a $90 million guarantee. Brian Sabean, the Giants' general manager, said as much on Thursday. "We're not actively out there swimming with the sharks," Sabean said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. New York Post: http://www.nypost.com/seven/12052008/sports/yankees/yankees_schedule_sabathia_meeting_142720.htm With Sabathia not jumping at the Yankees' six-year, $140 million package that Hal Steinbrenner says won't be there forever, it's possible Cashman's scheduled meeting with Sabathia could be for the purpose of wanting to know what Sabathia's plans are. Outside of a five-year, $100 million offer from the Brewers, it's not believed Sabathia has another offer. The Angels are concentrating on re-signing Teixeira, and the Giants aren't interested in a big-ticket item such as Sabathia. (Post登了一張好大的CC臉部特寫照 我只能說他真的不是花美男阿 所以CC想去西岸 但是 * Angels 的第一優先是 Teixeira * Giants 好像沒意思灑這麼多錢 (not after Zito) * Dodgers 的第一優先是 Manny * Padres 看目前的交易/rumors 是在想 dump payroll (有 rumor 說是因為老闆要付前妻贍養費) 這樣剩下來的... CC想去作走船好人嗎? --
