Well, it seems that the New York baseball clubs have won big out in Vegas.
The Mets reeled in reliever Francisco Rodriguez (and they get a hearty “thank you” from this Yankees fan who just couldn’t stand Rodriguez mowing down the Yanks). What surprised me in this deal is that Mets got off cheap.
And then, early this morning, the NY Post reports that C.C. Sabathia has agreed to a massive contract with the Yankees.
Both contracts are pending final wording and physicals.
A nice Wednesday morning for New York baseball fans.
Update: Ken Rosenthal over at Fox Sports reports that the Sabathia deal is for 7 years and $160 Million.
