Yikes, Angels Talking With Sabathia, Teixeira Still Top On List
Bill Shaikin and Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times report that the Angels have begun contract discussions with C.C. Sabathia. They feel the Angels could make an offer in the range of Johan Santana’s six-year, $137.5MM deal. If this happens one would think the Yankees might counter with an increased bid.
They also say that despite the talks for Sabathia, Mark Teixeira remains the Angels’ top priority. They haven’t made an offer yet, but Scott Boras seems to want ten years while the Angels are willing to do seven.
The Angels talking with both top notch free agents could be a blow to the Yankees plan. I think we have to write off Teixeira now… but Sabathia is a must have.

everyones so nervous about Sabathia. I have a concern that maybe no one wants to hear. This guy is freaking HUGE… how many years can his frame take that weight. If he lost 30 pounds he would be a stud. He could stand to lose 40.
