The Yankees' initial offer was for six years, $140 million, which would be a record contract for a starting pitcher.
The Yankees remain in the mix for Sabathia along with the Brewers, Giants, Angels, Red Sox and possibly the Dodgers. The Giants emerged Tuesday as a player for Sabathia amid word that the team and the highly sought lefty could meet as soon as this weekend in San Francisco.
Sabathia met Monday with the Yankees, Red Sox and Brewers. He told Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti that he wanted to be a Dodger, according to numerous reports, and further contact with Los Angeles is expected.
Sabathia went 17-10 last season with a 2.70 ERA in 253 innings as a member of the Indians and Brewers.
