Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
When I first heard the news that CC Sabathia had finally agreed to sign the contract offer the New York Yankees were making him my first thoughts were "Well it's about time, idiot." Not that I think that CC isn't intelligent or anything, but I just found it increasingly ridiculous that anybody could turn down that kind of money when nobody else was offering anything near as much. Throw in the state of the country's economy to the mix, and Sabathia seemed like an even bigger idiot.I mean, that size of a contract means that car companies will start calling CC when they need a handout.
Of course, then I heard that the deal Sabathia agreed to wasn't the original six-year offer worth $140 million that the Yankees had offered him weeks ago. No, apparently at some point during the late-night hours on Tuesday the Yankees felt the need to add another year and $20 million to the deal. Now that, my friends, is idiocy.
Why on Earth would the Yankees throw another year and $20 million on the offer when no other team had even come close to matching their original offer? I know that Sabathia had said in recent days that he wanted to be a Dodger, and that staying on the west coast was his preference, but no other offer was within $60 million of what the Yankees had been offering.
Did they really think Sabathia was going to leave that much money sitting on the table? Maybe they thought that the Brewers, Dodgers, and Giants would all pool their money together and make one huge offer to him and split him amongst the three teams next season.
