Starting Pitcher: Sabathia could change Landscape
Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times reported the 
Angels could offer CC Sabathia a six-year, $140 million deal, much like the Yankees offered.
According to Jon Heyman, at SI.com, “If the Angels can steal Sabathia, that may change the entire free-agent landscape.”
…the buzz around baseball suggests the Angels and Mark Teixeira have reached a bit of an impasse…and if teixeira is seeking a 10–year deal, like has been reported, i can understand why…so, sabathia is waiting for the Angels and Giants to get in the bidding for his services…
…at the very least, he’ll eventually have to weigh a slightly lesser offer from the Angels or Giants, on the West Coast, where he wants to be, against a bigger offer from the Yankees, where it’s pretty clear he does not want to end up, otherwise he would have taken their offer by now…
…once he signs, it will set a ceiling, and players like AJ Burnett, Derek Lowe and other free agent pitchers will begin to sign…
Speaking of which, the Mets are not on Burnett’s six-team wish list, according to MLB.com, however the Braves and Phillies are.
