Extending Sabathia

I would think it would be fairly be news if C.C. Sabathia were offered a contract extension. However, it gets reported in an Ask the Reporter column, and there are no details!

GM Mark Shapiro confirmed that the offer has been made, but would say nothing else. The length of the contract, rather than the money involved, is expected to be a problem. Sabathia's agents believe he's earned a lengthy deal (five to seven years), but it's unlikely the Indians would be willing to make that kind of commitment.

Did anyone call Milliliter's agent? Usually, they're willing to talk about these things. Then again, the Indians have done such a good job of keeping their players happy and getting them to want to stay in Cleveland that both sides might just be cooperating to keep the deal quiet until it's done.
