Total shocker. Ok, not really. Anyway, Ken Davidoff over at Newsday is reporting that the Yankees have indeed met with CC Sabathia's agent, Greg Grenske, during at the GM meetings in California.

Greg Genske, who heads the LS Legacy Sports Group, told Newsday yesterday that the Yankees were one of many teams with which he and his fellow agents, Scott Parker and Brian Peters, met. It was a "preliminary" get-together, Genske said, standard for this early in the offseason.

"He's open-minded," Peters said of Sabathia. "The Yankees are definitely one of the teams he'd consider."

Teams can begin making formal offers November 14. I doubt the Yankees will waste much time, and I fully expect them to offer him upwards of $25M/year and a chunk of the moon.
