Yanks target Sabathia

Rumor started yesterday that the Yanks were not going to mess around in the Sabathia sweepstakes. Rather than dance around and play coy, the plan was to blow everybody out of the water, right out of the gate, and find out now if he really wanted to be a Yankee. Today, on the very first day free agents could be made offers, the Yanks have reportedly offered him a six-year, $140 million dollar contract. Sweet! I love this approach. "If you want to be a Yankee, here is the offer. We know and you know that nobody will match it." This is how they should always approach this stuff. Get it done now, or not, and move on. Don't be played. Here is the story from the NY Post:
