New York Yankees’ CC Sabathia would’ve gotten knee surgery if Bombers weren’t contenders

CC Sabathia is nearing the end of his major league career, and he’s hoping to prolong the very conclusion of it. The New York Yankees are 95-51 and legitimate World Series contenders.

With lingering issues in his knee, Sabathia could’ve very well gotten surgery this year. However, the long-time starting pitcher decided not to, due to the fact that his team is doing so well.

“I think if this team wasn’t in a position to win a championship, I probably would have had the surgery a long time ago,” Sabathia said, per Dan Martin of the New York Post.
