Sabathia Thinks He Could Play For Giants

Cleveland pitcher C.C. Sabathia believes that he could play for the Giants at some point in his career even if they aren't willing to pony up the money he'll likely command this season, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.

When asked if he would add San Francisco to his list of teams to call this winter, Sabathia said, "I guess. I haven't really thought about that yet. It might be a little close to home. I don't know that that would work out."

Cubs Looking At Sabathia And Harden?

With Carlos Zambrano on the shelf momentarily and the Cubs looking like legitimate playoff contenders, they appear ready to make a run at either C.C. Sabathia or Rich Harden, according to The Chicago Tribune.

Buster Olney of ESPN has ranked the Cubs second to the Brewers in the race for Sabathia. The Indians are rumored to be shopping the left-hander because they don't appear primed to contend in the American League.
