Sabathia throws Mark Teixeira’s Cano remark back in his face

Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano, CC Sabathia

CC Sabathia didn’t defend Robinson Cano on the day Cano was hit with an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drug use, but now that a former teammate has spoken, the Yankees pitcher is clapping back.

A week after Mark Teixeira said he wasn’t “surprised” by Cano’s suspension, Sabathia responded to his former teammate’s take.

“I don’t want to get into what Tex said, but I’ll just put it like this: I’m not surprised he said that, coming from him,” Sabathia said Thursday on CBS Radio’s “Tiki and Tierney” show.
