CC Sabathia has been the talk around baseball as teams shop around for necessities to make their particular team better. The Yankees did just that today, as they made the big lefty a record setting deal.
Sabathia signed with the Yankees and will make $23,000,000 per year, over the next seven years. The deal is huge but bringing an ace to the Yankees is equally important. Sabathia has been a beast in both leagues the past three years and will be for more many more to come.
The Yankees are also looking at adding either Derek Lowe, A.J. Burnett, or Ben Sheets as well. If they can land one of these three to add with Wang, Pettitte, and Phil Hughes, they will be able to put Joba Chamberlain back into his setup role for Mariano Rivera.
The Yankees have already added Nick Swisher and could possible add Bill Hall before it is all said and done. Not making the playoffs doesn't set well with Yankee nation and the Steinbrenner boys are doing all they can to make sure that doesn't happen two years in row.
