CC Sabathia Agrees to Contract Extension With Yankees
CC Sabathia isn’t going anywhere after all, not even to test the free-agent waters.
The Yankees ace announced personally Monday that he has agreed to a contract extension with the Yankees, and he will remain in New York. The terms of the deal are unknown at this point.
Many thought that Sabathia would at least excercise the opt-out clause he had in his contract that would let the big left-hander become a free agent this winter. Sabathia was set to make $92 million over the final four years of the seven-year contract he signed in 2008.
Logging in from my vacation to say yay!
He probably could have gotten more if he opted out, but he didn’t. It sounds like the Yankees will be tacking on an extra guaranteed year plus a vesting option. Works for me.
