Under the brewers contract, however....
Sabathia would have to pitch the 6th year for free.
He who shall not be named reported that the modified offer would be 6 years for 110 million.
Which makes no sense to me. Why would Sabathia be more interested in a longer contract for less per season?
I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

Security.
Along with more total money. If, as Jihad said, there would be an opt-out clause for CC, than if he gets hurt or for some reason really starts sucking, he has more money in the bank for a longer period of time, and if he doesn’t get hurt and pitches well, he can opt out for another very, very big payday.
I just wish he would decide soon so we can either rejoice or move on to other options.
Eric Gagne DL time: May 23-June 29 Brewers record in that span: 20-9
I don't think my brain works the right way to evaluate these offers.
Who looks at a guaranteed contract offer for 5 years and a 100 million (some deferred) and thinks, “I need a little more security than that.”

Maybe someone who's already lost a good deal of money
To shady investment types that prey on the recently rich, especially athletes. Even that’s a stretch because a) if you manage to lose $100M I wouldn’t be optimistic about the other $10M, b) if it’s happened once you’d think you would take steps to stop it from happening again, and c) I have no idea if Sabathia ever ran into that sort of thing. But I guess when every single person on the planet is your friend, you never know…

The Chicago Tribune
is reporting the same rumor.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
