November 14, 2007 C.C. Sabathia captured the AL Cy Young Award Tuesday, finishing comfortably ahead of Josh Beckett and John Lackey. Sabathia worked 40 1/3 more innings than Beckett during the regular season, which may have been what really swayed the voters. |

November 8, 2007 The Indians are working on putting together a new contract offer for C.C. Sabathia, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We're working on something to put in front of ownership, and we'll go from there," said GM Mark Shapiro on Wednesday. Sabathia is set to be a free agent after the 2008 season, and it's unclear exactly how much the big lefty wants to stay in Cleveland long-term. |

October 25, 2007 C.C. Sabathia's contract comes to an end after the 2008 season, and GM Mark Shapiro would like to try to work out a new deal with the left-hander before spring training next year, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Should the Tribe be unable to work out a deal before the year begins, we could start to hear rumors about the team possibly trading Sabathia. However, that would be a last resort for the Indians, and we have a hard time not seeing them get a deal done eventually. |

"We'll have to see how the swelling is and how stiff and sore he is." |
