Stratton to Minors Blackburn to Minors
Yankees confirm. We're officially blowing this team up with this move, sorry to say we had to move one of our best and most consistent pieces this franchise has ever had. CC will be missed, but Stratton and Blackburn represent part of our future pitching pieces and we believe they will both work out to become good MLB pitchers.
Giants to confirm. We have no problem sending our big pieces to the NL where we will hopefully never see them.
Giants accept. Looking to contend and we get a big time pitcher in CC Sabathia. I like Crick better than the two arms I deal here and I hold onto him. Taking on all this cap isn't ideal, but I have the room for it now with the money Yankees pay. Now very confident in my rotation with CC-Bumgarner-Cain leading the charge.
