From the NY POST:

Lefty Likely On Radar Of Mets, Yanks

"Sabathia smiled when told Mets fans are dreaming of a starting
rotation that begins with him and Johan Santana.

"That sounds good," the premier free agent pitcher of this winter told
The Post.

The 28-year-old's season came to a close yesterday when the Brewers
lost to the Phillies, 6-2 in Game 4 of the NLDS. He never got the
chance to pitch Game 5, instead his final appearance of 2008 coming as
a pinch hitter (he struck out).

Now he embarks on the free agency trail, where he probably will fetch
around $150 million. Both the Mets and Yankees are expected to be
players in the Sabathia sweepstakes, but the big left-hander sounds
lukewarm about leaving his native California for the East Coast.

"I like it there," he said of New York, "but we'll have to see what
direction the teams are going and would my family be uncomfortable
being on a whole other coast? We'll have to see."

Sabathia's wife Amber is due to give birth on Friday, so he said he
probably will wait a few weeks before talking with agent Greg Genske
about the plan for this winter. He does know he doesn't want the
decision to take all winter.

"I want to get it done pretty quick," Sabathia said. "I try to be as
stress free as possible. All that is is stress having it drag on all
winter. We'll see what happens."

Sabathia said don't expect him to do one of those whirlwind free
agency tours.

"I can guarantee you I won't be flying around, going to different
cities," he said. "I've pretty much been to every city in the league.
I've got a lot of friends around the league. They're going to have to
come to me. I won't be spending my offseason flying around to
different cities." "
