Don’t kid yourself, but the New York Yankees will get even better this offseason. Let’s go ahead and call it a Bronx Reunion. That’s when Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia will be back together, this time in pinstripes.

It was somewhat of a shock last week when Lee, the most attractive trade deadline piece, was shipped to Texas. We all saw New York as a destination, who were offering their best prospect in Jesus Montero to Seattle. But Texas matched the Yankees offer and Seattle couldn’t refuse. Think Lee cared where he went? I doubt it. He’s a guy who’s so easy come, easy go, that he will play for anybody. I love his demeanor and the way he carries himself.

Reports said the move to the Yankees was about done. Just thinking about Lee and CC Sabathia again in a rotation is scary. Absolutely. These two aces, very different in their style, pitched the Cleveland Indians to the ALCS in 2007 alone. They very rarely ever need to be bailed out by hitting.

When this does go down, and it will trust me, Lee will get a big contract. The Yankees may even be in the talks of a possible three-peat in 2011. Lee may not get 7-years at $161 like Sabathia, the biggest pitchers contract ever. My guess is in December when the Yankees will wrap up their own Christmas present. Money can buy anything.
