Spring training has finally arrived, and the New York Yankees are back at it. After losing in the 2019 American League Championship Series to the now-widely hated Houston Astros, the Yanks will be working towards World Series title No. 28.

But there’s something that’s noticeably missing from this ballclub, and that’s the presence of CC Sabathia. The left-hander decided to call it quits after his 19th major-league season last year. The Yankees will surely miss his energy and mentorship, as reliever Zack Britton reflects on those invaluable qualities.
