…CC Sabathia who this off season is going to get a pretty hefty payday says he liked it in Milwaukee and would heavily consider re-signing with the club.

“I loved it here,” said Sabathia, who went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA in 17 starts after a July 7 trade from the Cleveland Indians, and led the Brewers to their first postseason in 26 years. “It’s one of the most fun times I’ve had in my life. It was definitely a blessing to be traded here.

“Everything was great. We accomplished a lot. This team will be back. There’s a lot of good young players in here.

“I’ll go home this winter and make the best decision.”

The Brewers are going to have to pay a pretty hefty price to keep Sabathia as it would seem the Yankees are going to try and outbid every team on the planet for CC.
