CC Sabathia should NOT sign with the Yankees.

The “CC” in CC Sabathia used to stand for “Carsten Charles.” Or maybe “Captain Cheeseburger.”
The New York Yankees want to change it to “Cha-Ching”
This past Friday, the New York Yankees offered CC Sabathia a six-year, $140 Million contract to anchor their starting rotation and help bring a World Series Championship the Playoffs back to the Bronx. The offer is $40 million more than the five-year, $100 million offer he reportedly received from the Brewers to stay in Milwaukee. And it would be the largest pitching contract in the history of Major League Baseball, besting the $137 million Johan Santana received from the New York Mets last offseason.
No other team is going to exceed (or even match) the Yankees contract offer. The Brewers can’t do it. Sabathia’s preferred home-state Dodgers and Angels won’t do it either. They’ll be looking for a discount … and the Yankees’ monster offer might prevent the LA teams from even entering the bidding. The Yankees have basically made this into a pissing match … and they drank the most beer before the contest started.
But I think it would be a bad idea for Sabathia to sign with the Yankees …
