According to a person familiar with the talks, the San Francisco Giants have been in touch with Sabathia's agent and are planning an offer in excess of the six years, $100 million Milwaukee has offered, though not as high as the Yankees' stratospheric six-year, $140 million offer.As I wrote last week, this seems like a good idea. Then again, it ain't my money, so that's pretty easy for me to say.
The Giants "want to show him they're going to be very aggressive," . . . The Giants believe Sabathia would rather pitch in San Francisco than in New York, and they're hoping they can make an offer that's close enough to the Yankees' offer to convince him to go there.

APBA Guy-
If the Giants pay CC $ 20M/year, and Zito $ 17M per, they have about an equal amount to pay the rest of the team. How can they win like that? They'd have to get up to $ 90M total to have a chance.
