For the second time in as many years, CC Sabathia is about to be a free agent. For the second time in as many years, I expect the Yankees will sign him to be part of the back end of their rotation by about mid-December. And despite what CC himself said on the most recent episode of R2C2 about this being the first time he’s nervous about returning to the Yankees, I think he expects to be back with the Bombers, too. I’m not the only one to say this, but at this point, CC has earned the Andy Pettitte treatment–one year deals till he’s done (which will be after 2019, per that same R2C2 episode).
