Time for the Real Fun to Begin

Now that the World Series is out of the way it's time to move on to the fun stuff: The Offseason

Here are some big names and where they will end up this offseason

C.C Sabathia- New York Yankees- The Yanks will ask him "how much" and "how long" and then give him exactly what he says, if not more. The Yankees desperately need pitching and C.C will be a great arm to complement Wang. The Yanks rag-tag rotation will need to get a serious face-lift this year.
Mark Teixeira-The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the United States of North America of the World of the Milky Way galaxy. Anaheim wants to keep him but he wants (and by he I mean his agent Scott Boras wants) to get a huge deal and the Angels will have a lot of money laying around since K-Rod is gone
Manny Ramirez- Somewhere in Los Angeles. If the Angels don't resign Teixeira then here comes the Manny show. The Dodgers would be crazy to let him go but they have been burned by giving big named players with big contracts in the past.(Brad Penny, Jason Schmidt, Andruw Jones)
Remember, when he was traded, Manny said that he wanted to finish his career in L.A. No specific team was mentioned in the interview
AJ Burnett- New York Yankees- This deal hinges on whether or not Mike Mussina Retires. It is looking like he will and although the Yanks may not be the highest bidder, it seems like Burnett wants to pitch in New York. The only downfall of Burnett is that he is injury prone and that is the last thing the Yanks need to do again (Carl Pavano)
Jake Peavy- ?- This one is tough.. he does not seem like he wants to pitch in the American League. The Padres will not trade him within their division. I guess I'll go with Atlanta but they would have to give up a lot to get him
