10th December, 2008 - 11:03 am
ESPN - The Yankees are "very close" to a preliminary agreement with Sabathia on Wednesday morning, following an in-person meeting between GM Brian Cashman and Sabathia in California, a baseball source with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.com.

While a deal is not done, the source said there are "zero major road blocks" that would prevent the Yankees from an reaching agreement.

In order to get the deal completed, ESPN the Magazine's Buster Olney reports that the Yankees added a seventh year to their original six-year, $140 million offer, bringing the total package to seven years and $161 million.
