On Monday, baseball's winter meetings will commence in Las Vegas. Brian Cashman will be there, just like every other GM in the league. Tonight, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao are fighting in Vegas. CC Sabathia will be there to watch the fight. Because Cashman's Yankees are trying to procure Sabathia's services for the forseeable future, he's set up a meeting with the free agent pitcher in Vegas.
I don't really know what Cashman is planning on talking about in this meeting, unless he's just trying to get a handle on whether CC has any plans to accept the Yanks' massive 6-year/$140 million offer that's been on the table for a month now. As the linked Daily News article says, it's rather unlikely that anyone is going to offer Sabathia more than the Yanks have, even with three other offers (the Brewers and two mystery teams) allegedly on the table.
The question for Sabathia at this point is really "Does he want to be a Yankee, or doesn't he?" They've made their big offer and there's not much more to be added to it. Does Cashman trying to horn in a meeting when Sabathia wants to take in a fight hurt or help their chances? I don't really know, but it seems to me the Yankees are getting nervous that Sabathia is taking so long.
This would be a great meeting if the Rays of Tampa would put their two cents in, but I am wondering if any picther is worth $729,166 plus change and minus tax's for B.O. per start?? Any comments on this??

I hear George's son is not cut of the cloth of his father. The yankees will have to overcome that. HOw about them RAYS!!!
His son may not be cut of the same cloth, but let's remember that the money is the same. I agree with Tom on this that there isn't a pitcher worth $3400 a OUT. Not even my hero Sandy K.
