Yahoo! Sports Column Talks Trading Deadline, C.C. in the Mix
Yahoo! Sports Columnist Tim Brown has written a column about the trading deadline and players to look for that could be moved, with of course C.C. Sabathia in the mix. One part about the Indians:
“The disappointing Indians haven’t necessarily ruled out signing Sabathia to a contract extension, but it is much more likely they won’t. After a poor league championship series that bled into April, Sabathia has a 2.43 ERA over eight starts in May and June, meaning he’s still on track to be the premier free-agent pitcher on the market, ahead of Sheets. Indians management is determined the let the club choose its course on Sabathia; if it wins, Sabathia could spend the summer in Cleveland and the Indians will take the draft picks when he signs elsewhere. If the club does not hit and therefore does not win, well, the trading-deadline market should receive Sabathia well.”
