C.C. Sabathia is undoubtedly one of baseball's best pitchers, and he has had an extremely successful first three years as a member of the New York Yankees. But in an odd twist, Sabathia can opt out of his contract after this season, and with the way he has pitched, he ...

Two things will happen at the end of the season: Jorge Posada will retire (he'll be 40 by then), and the Yankees will find another aging star of theirs to quietly move into the DH spot. My money would have been on Derek Jeter, but he can't hit anymore, and ...
