When C.C. Sabathia signed a contract with the New York Yankees before the 2009 season, he had an opt-clause put in the deal that would allow him to walk away from the Big Apple after three seasons.  With their rotation in shambles, would Sabathia take the opportunity and leave town?

According to Mark Carig of the Star Ledger, Sabathia has no intention to opt-out and he said that it’s the last time he’ll address it.  However, the left-hander told Joel Sherman of the New York Post that there’s a possibility that he could opt-out.

“Anything is possible in a contract.”  Sabathia added, “Who knows what is possible, but I am not thinking about anything beyond Opening Day.”

Yankees’ GM, Brian Cashman, agreed.  Sabathia opting out is ““certainly a possibility.”

Sabathia is currently in the middle of a seven-year, $161 million deal.  Since being with the Yankees, he has posted a 40-15 record with a 3.27 ERA while helping them win the 2009 World Series.
