Well the Yankees didn't have to wait long for CC Sabathia to sign on the dotted line.
A day after filing for free agency the Yankees and Sabathia agreed to a brand new five year extension worth $122 million. In short Sabathia gets an additional $30 million on his old deal.
Sabathia and his family have grown attached to the area over the past few seasons; this coming from a guy who once wanted to move to the west coast after his deal with the Brewers concluded in 2008.
Sabathia will return as the team's ace, and now New York will look to bolster a rotation that is shaky at best. Notable free agents include C.J. Wilson (who had a horrible playoffs with the Rangers), Roy Oswalt, and Mark Burlehe. Burlehe is probably the safest bet of the bunch, a reliable left-handed veteran with post season success. As good as Oswalt was, he's not what he used to be, and will probably remain a Philadelphia Phillie.
