Shaikin: Is CC Sabathia a prize Dodgers have their eye on? (RR)

The Dodgers might be more likely to sign CC Sabathia than Casey Blake this winter.

That, at least, is the way Blake sees it. The two men played together for five seasons in Cleveland, before the Indians traded Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers and Blake to the Dodgers last month.

The left-hander is expected to command at least $100 million as the top starting pitcher in free agency, and Blake said Sabathia has shared no inside information about his preferred destinations. Sabathia hails from the Bay Area and has said he is shopping for a home in Southern California.

“I think he wants to be close to home,” Blake said. “I think it would be in his best interest to stay in the National League.”

Why?

“Just because he rakes,” Blake said.

Only because riding mower seats are just so big…

Listen, if CC doesn't sign with the Yankees, we'll all going to have to listen to more tirades from Hank. Just stop disrespecting the game and give Hank what he wants.
