CC Stays!

The Yanks avoided a prolonged chess match with Team Sabathia by extending CC today. The extension only adds one year to his current deal, and 30M of total value. That is an insanely good deal given the market place CC might have enjoyed had he opted out. Now, this is almost a good as him not threatening to opt out at all. If he can control his weight going forward, he should be effective for 5 more years. Whether or not he will be ace quality, remains to be seen. Needless to say, great job, Cash! Go Yanks!

Now on to Darvish! Not sure I want CJ for his asking price

Don't want CJ, period. Darvish and/or buy low for John Danks.

This is a good deal for the Yankees. The option is basically automatically triggered unless CC has a shoulder injury the final year of his contract, so it seems the Yankees feel like he can be effective long-term as long as his shoulder's healthy.
