The Yankees will have some major decisions to make this offseason, but they will wait and allow themselves to breathe before coming to any conclusions. New York was eliminated by Detroit in Game 5 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman isn't under contract for next season and CC Sabathia can opt out of his contract and hit the free agent market this winter. "Obviously, he's our ace, so he ranks highly [on the priority list]," Cashman said. "I can't predict how everything goes. We'll take this thing one day at a time. The winter's come upon us, but I'm not prepared to talk about the winter, unfortunately."
