CC Sabathia is making one last Yankees pitch — to get Gerrit Cole in pinstripes, that is.
The recently retired Yankees hurler said he has spoken “many times” with the most coveted free agent in this winter’s class, and that “if you give that motherf–ker enough money, he’s going to want to come here.
“I am speaking from experience,” Sabathia said on an episode of his “R2C2 is UNINTERRUPTED” podcast, which dropped Tuesday.
Sabathia, the Vallejo, Calif. native, signed a seven-year, $161 million contract with the Yankees in 2008, which at the time was the largest deal for a starting pitcher.
