Sabathia as a 5th starter is not bad at all and won't require any kind of long term deal. I still think he sticks with the Yankees but he's really not a bad option.
I wouldn't mind this move, I honestly thought he would of been a good fit last year. He's not a great hitter but he's pretty damn consistent and stays healthy. I'd take him over Zeke.
Seems like this would be a good salary relief move for the Braves.
I mean he's from there, so not surprising it he wants to prioritise them. Players really only care about money and winning, I'm sure if we could set up a winning culture here players would be happy to play here.
Hard to see how we could offer him something better than what the Yankees could but I still have some expectations especially considering how many people from the Jays front office went to scout him.
He seems like a good fit. I thought the Jays might of been the 2nd team too but I don't know the Jays have gone years by just looking for reclamation project bullpen pieces.
