OK, here is the deal on CC Sabathia
Just found out that the Dodgers have NOT made an offer and that they aren't ABOUT to make an offer. This does not mean, however, that they WON'T make an offer at some point. The Dodgers ARE interested in CC Sabathia, and if you believe what you read just about everywhere these days, he is at least somewhat interested in them. But that doesn't mean it's going to happen, especially given that the Yankees have offered what they reportedly have offered. ... Also just found out that the Dodgers AREN'T talking to the Jays about Halladay. Oh, and there is apparently another report out there (I haven't seen it, was just told about it) that they are in hot pursuit of Raul Ibanez, which would make no sense given that the last thing the Dodgers need is another outfielder (at least not another outfielder NOT named Manny Ramirez). There is no truth to that report, either.

Just another day in the world of Hot Stove! As much as I'd love CC, I can't imagine he would leave that kind of offer (from the Yankees - we know whether it's the current offer or any other offer from the Yankees it would be hard to turn it down) on the table. The Roy Halladay rumor is just too good to be true, IMO (and would probably cost the Dodgers the same young guys they have insisted they want to continue to build around). And Raul Ibanez? Nice player, but as you said, there's no need for another OFer unless his name is Manny Ramirez.
Please tell me those Jon Garland whispers are false too.
