(UPDATE (7:30AM): The deal looks done. Seven years at $160M(!) Glad the big fella was able to leverage one concrete offer and a number of non-offers into a contract nearly as bloated as him. But seriously folks, I'm glad it's the Yanks who are going to go seven on a guy who threw 1.6 million pitches last season and makes Mark Mangino look positively svelte.)
The increasingly dubious chorus of unnamed sources say a deal between CC Sabathia and the Yanks is close following Brian Cashman's pilgrimage to San Francisco.
Unsure what to think what with the crappy game of telephone that transpired at the Bellagio this week, so take it for what it's worth. Whatever happens, we will look back at this as one of the biggest lose-lose personnel decisions the Giants have faced. Why, oh why, couldn't Sabathia have been a free agent in 2006?

Nice Mangino reference!
Seriously though, can we at least make an offer to Tex now? I understand from our discussion in the previous post that he wants to be on the east coast, but make us think the Giants are trying to bolster the offense!
Did everyone just see that bullet fly by?
Neo-style dodge.
P.S. Wanted sucks.
Officially dodged it.
Now let's get down to offering Manny Ramirez a seven year deal!
Seriously, though this team needs to get something to help this lineup. So far no good.
With the FA market looking thin on hitting unless you're willing to drop huge money, the only two ways are trade and player development.
Personally, I'm more for sitting on our pitching assets and letting the MiLB affiliates develop for at least one more year.
