Heyman's Latest: Sabathia, Burnett, Matsui

I don't think there will be any denying the Yankees making a jaw-dropping offer to CC. I say this because Cash didn't pull the trigger on a Santana deal when Hank wanted him to and we missed out on the strikeout/power ace that the Yankees needed badly. The Yankees are lucky enough to have another opportunity at a power ace and there is little doubt in my mind that they will make CC leave a lot of money on the table if he signs with somebody else. Not to mention the Union is going to put an incredible amount of pressure on Sabathia to take the highest offer.

Well if you work for SI and get to write an article everyday, you're bound to do well once in a while.

Then again there is little new info here except denying the Matsui rumors.

Denying the Matsui rumors isn't news, it's stating the obvious.

Matsui missed a large part of two of the last three seasons and has had knee surgery after two consecutive seasons.

I'd be amazed if they could get anything of value for Matsui.

35-36,

Lowell plays for Boston though. That alone triples his value.

It is a joke Arod - it is pointing fun at how RSD thinks that every Red Sox player has trade value of Hank Aaron in his prime.

Matsui has pretty much the same value as Lowell - aging players that are an injury risk, both teams would have to eat salaries for them to be moved.

Ohh, wow I'm dumb haha. But that's true, both teams would have to eat at least half of their salaries if they want to move either player.

Joe Crede had a good start last season. He was only signed for one year, and at a much lower price than either Matsui or Lowell. Yet he had no trade value.

Neither Matsui nor Lowell will be worth much in a trade. Matsui would be the easier of the two to move, considering they have similar salaries but Matsui has a shorter commitment.
