Yet when Cashman woke up on Friday morning, his offseason fireworks officially began. The Yankees made a record-breaking six-year, $140 million offer to free-agent starter CC Sabathia on Friday, according to multiple industry sources, the first part of their plan to overhaul their rotation.

The only certainty is that if Pettitte wants to pitch elsewhere, he can -- he ensured that much by officially filing for free agency on Sunday. Though Pettitte indicated on Friday that he has "made it perfectly clear" where he wants to play next year, the Yankees have still not contacted either Pettitte or his agent. A report released ...
