Cashman, Girardi and Reggie Jackson had a meeting with CC.

If C.C. wanted to be a Yankee he would have signed by now. That being said, he wants to be a Dodger! LOL, I guess just throwing money at people only works for about 60% of free agents these days.

He has interest in the Dodgers, he doesn't WANT to be a Dodger. Doesn't matter anyway cause Dodgers can't afford him if they want to keep Manny.

Yankees Will Offer Sheets Two-Year Deal


New York Daily News - According to a source, the Yankees will offer Ben Sheets a multi-year deal, most likely for two years in the $30 million range, before the winter meetings conclude on Thursday.

Sheets, a 30-year-old righthander who was one of the heroes of Team USA in the 2000 Olympics, declined arbitration this weekend, so he'll cost the team that signs him a first-round pick in next year's draft.

UPDATED: Giants talk to Sabathia’s camp; Yanks rumored to be out, Brewers emerging

Quote:
It sure must’ve have been a productive discussion, because word is that Sabathia has declined the Yankees’ six-year, $140 million offer. (I must stress that’s unconfirmed, but talk is spreading fast. If true, look for the Yanks to get hyper-aggressive on A.J. Burnett.)

Report: Sabathia To Sign With Yanks


New York Post - Prized free agent pitcher CC Sabathia has decided to wear pinstripes, according to a published report by the New York Post on its web site Wednesday.

Sabathia has accepted a six-year, $140 million contract offer from the Yankees.

If the figures are accurate, it is the largest contract ever given to a pitcher.

The decision came late Tuesday night after Yankees GM Brian Cashman left the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas to speak with Sabathia and his wife Amber in San Francisco.
