C.C. Sabathia and the NY Yankees have come to an agreement for Sabathia to pitch in pinstripes. The deal now represents a record-setting seven-year pact for about $160 million. Reports on Wednesday afternoon said the package is worth $161 million and will include a buyout clause that will give Sabathia the right to opt out after three years.

“We all know what kind of ballplayer he is,” Cashman said on Monday. “He’s a tremendous family man and he’s got a wife and three kids. He’s got a life choice to make that will direct where they’ll reside.”

That now leaves the next order of business, with free agent right-handers A.J. Burnett, Derek Lowe and Ben Sheets, and to the future of Andy Pettitte, who remains unsigned.

With 2 “Aces” now on the rotation with C.C. Sabathia and Chien Ming Wang, and Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes to round it out…the Yankees could use one more arm for the middle of the rotation. Hopefully, the Yanks sign Andy Pettitte.
