CC Could Get Early Parole

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that CC Sabathia may have an escape clause in his new deal with the Yankees.

Sabathia is expected to receive an opt-out clause after three years, which was a prerequisite for him to sign with any team, not just the Yankees, according to a source.

Such a clause would give Sabathia the chance for another monster payday in free agency at age 31 — and provides him with an escape if he finds the New York experience unappealing.
