  • LAS VEGAS (AP)—CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees are closing in on a seven-year contract worth about $160 million, a deal that would be a record for a pitcher.

    The Yankees and the pitcher’s agents had not yet reached a letter of agreement, a baseball official familiar with the talks said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because a deal had not yet been finalized. The official said the Yankees were confident an agreement would soon be reached.

    Yankees general manager Brian Cashman left the winter meetings Tuesday and traveled to the San Francisco area to meet with the pitcher and his wife.
