Last season, New York Yankees ace CC Sabathia stated to the press that despite having the option to do so, he would not opt out of his contract. Joining the team in 2009, the big lefty's seven-year, $161 million deal has a clause that allows him to opt out after three years, should he want to.
Just yesterday, however, Sabathia hinted that he might exercise that clause after the season. Being a Yankee fan, I just had one response. WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Sabathia is, for all intents and purposes, the top dog of the Yankees pitching staff. Were he to opt out for more money, there aren't any other big market teams who would be able to swing the funds to do so. Long story short, it would be the stupidest career decision he could possibly make.
Hell, while we're at it, let's have a look at some other, less idiotic things that could happen!
