December 10th, 2008, was a huge day in baseball, in New York. As two of the greatest pitchers were signed to mutli-million dollar year contracts. The New York Yankees signed Pitcher CC Sabathia, to a seven year deal for $161 million dollars! $161 million dollars! Then the New York Mets signed closing pitcher Francisco Rodriguez to a $37 million three year deal! That more than $16 million dollars a year! Both players are coming off great teams and amazing seasons last year.
Do you think it was smart to sign these players? Who do you think got a better deal? Which team do you think will do better next season?

When the mets got K-rod I was in tears because I knew we can never comeback in a game against the mets ever again. That sign for the mets made it harder for us to make the playoffs next year even if we do play well. But the yankees sign of C.C Sabathia is just ridiculous. That is just to much money for one baseball player, but it makes sense knowing that the yankees made this deal.
