The New York Yankees are already talking about going after free agents CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett in the offseason, according to New York Newsday. "Everybody's looking at [CC] Sabathia and [A.J.] Burnett, not just us. We'll see. The main concern is, are their arms going to be OK after this season?" asked Hank Steinbrenner.Steinbrenner's desire to get better will be a driving force behind their attempts to land one, or both, of the pitchers. And it will certainly drive the prices up for both hurlers.
