CC Sabathia is considering a contract with the NY Yankees for $160 Million over 7 years! That's $22,857,000 a year for 7 years. I bet his agent is going nuts!
Is he worth the money? Before you answer, consider his post-season performances - the Yanks are interested in going after all the marbles! He holds a lifetime postseason record of 1 win and 3 losses in 5 games. He has pitched a total of 25 postseason innings, giving up 22 earned runs resulting in a dishonorable 7.92 ERA. In those 25 innings he also walked 22 batters while striking out 24. His most recent postseason start was his worst yet, giving up 5 runs in only 3.2 innings.
I predict that he will sign with the Yankees. The economy in the South Bronx must be pretty good!
