Yankees Rumors: Sabathia, Cashman, Wilson, Swisher

Lots of news and rumors coming out of the Yankees organizational meeting in Tampa. Let's get right to it:

New Offer for Sabathia in the Works - NYTimes.com
The Yankees are close to completing a new contract proposal for the left-hander C.C. Sabathia, which they intend to present to him before he can opt out of his current contract, according to a baseball executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Contracts for Robinson Cano, CC Sabathia of concern to Yanks - MLB.com
The Yankees' most pressing task is securing the services of ace CC Sabathia for 2012 and beyond, but Robinson Cano would like his future to be the next item on the agenda.

It should be a huge surprise if the Yankees don't pick up Swisher's option, for the simple reason that Brian Cashman looks at the same numbers as the rest of us. And the numbers say that Swisher's worth around $15 million per season. Even if you think Beltrán's the better player -- arguable, considering his recent injury history -- why would you decline to spend $10 million for a player worth $15 million?
