CC Sabathia is leaving the door open to opt out of his seven-year, $161 million contract after this season. "I have no idea [if I will opt out,]" Sabathia said. "It is still in my contract. Anything is possible." Sabathia can opt out of his deal after the third year, which comes after this season. Since the middle of last season, the left-hander has repeatedly stated that he likes New York and playing for the Yankees and would not try to become a free agent.
