"Robinson Cano's effort to get his two club options deleted and a new deal hasn't penetrated the wax in the Yankees' ears.

Nevertheless, the club is more open to signing left-handed ace CC Sabathia to a new multi-year contract after the brass met in Tampa yesterday and held a "productive session."

The top subject in Tampa was getting an offer to Sabathia before he opts out of the final four years and $92 million of his seven-year deal. Sabathia has until three days after the World Series ends to opt out.

Cano's agent, Scott Boras, attempted to contact general manager Brian Cashman about re-doing Cano's deal and has been met with silence."
