The Indians have started talks with the agent for C.C. Sabathia on a contract extension. Sabathia is due to make $8.75 million this year and $9 million in 2008. He is eligible for free agency after the 2008 World Series. He saw Barry Zito, Jason Schmidt and other starting pitchers get big contracts during the offseason. "The market was great for pitching this time," Sabathia said. "We'll see how it goes the next couple of years."
