Stark's Latest: Sabathia, Furcal, Peavy

A few notes from Jayson Stark's latest blog post...

• Stark believes the possibility of C.C. Sabathia signing with the Giants is alive, and the Giants have talked to the pitcher's agent.  Such a signing might compel Brian Sabean to remove Matt Cain's "untouchable" tag, in Stark's opinion.  Earlier today Ken Rosenthal suggested the Giants were a dark horse for C.C.  Also, Sabathia's wife Amber prefers the Giants according to George King.
• The Giants offered three years to Rafael Furcal.  He wants four, so they switched their attention to Edgar Renteria.  The Giants want a shorter-term deal so their own prospects can take over within a few years.
• Stark notes that the recent Jake Peavy-Cubs rumors do not seem to be coming out of Chicago.  He suggests those talks may not be active, partially because the Cubs are in payroll limbo til their sale goes through.
• The Twins and Dodgers have two year offers out to Casey Blake.  Whichever team blinks and adds a third year can get him.
