There was so much talk about Sabathia leaving New York after the Division Series. I think it was all drummed up by the media and had absolutely no truth to it. Either way, the Yankees were not taking any chances and extended Sabathia’s deal.
He had $92M and 4 years left on his contract. Now there are 5 more years for $122M with an option for a 6th year if CC stays healthy (for another $20,000,000+).
He’s compiled a (W-L) 59-23 record in 3 seasons with the team. The Yankees pitching staff is already thin and without Sabathia, the team wouldn’t be a contender. Let’s hope to see another six good years out of this guy.
