Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel - Brewers general manager Doug Melvin believes that the Yankees offer to free agent pitcher CC Sabathia was excessive.

"It sounds like they're overbidding," Melvin said. "If the speculation is true that we've offered CC $100 million, why would you offer $140 million? Why wouldn't you offer $110 million?"

According to reports, the Yankees are trying to "blow away" Sabathia with an offer he can't refuse. The New York Daily News, citing industry sources, reported that the Yankees made an initial bid of $140 million for six years. [READ]
