CC Sabathia will have a deadline to accept the New York Yankees' contract proposal. "We've made him an offer.

It's not going to be there forever," Hal Steinbrenner said Thursday after he was approved as the team's new controlling owner during a meeting at Major League Baseball headquarters.

New York offered a six-year contract to the pitcher last Friday, the first day teams were allowed to start...

Free-agent season opened Friday with the New York Yankees planning to give CC Sabathia a record offer for a pitcher.

The Yankees formulated a proposal to the big lefty that would exceed Johan Santana's $137.5 million, six-year contract with the New York Mets both in total and average, a baseball official familiar with the negotiations said.

Is CC Sabathia bound for the Bronx? Looking to give their starting rotation an overhaul, the Yanks intend to throw a record deal at Sabathia, reports Jon Heyman.

DANA POINT, Calif. -- The Brewers have within the past day or so presented a multiyear offer to superstar free-agent pitcher CC Sabathia that is believed to be in the $100-million range.

The turning point? No, it wasn't Shane Victorino's jaw-dropping grand slam in the second inning. No, it wasn't Prince Fielder's feeble groundout in the eighth with two men on in a three-run game.

No, here was the turning point of Game 2: Phillies starting pitcher Brett Myers -- at the plate -- staring down CC Sabathia during an epic at-bat in the fateful second inning, the white-towel waving fans roaring after every pitch.

There was Myers, fighting off a killer 79-mph slider. There was Myers, swatting away a 97-mph heater.

Upon further review, the play stands. Major League Baseball's scoring review committee ruled Wednesday that official scorer Bob Webb did not err when he decided that Pittsburgh's Andy LaRoche singled against Brewers pitcher CC Sabathia in the bottom of the fifth inning of Milwaukee's 7-0 win on Sunday.
