I remember exactly where I was when the news broke that the Yankees and CC Sabathia had reached a contract agreement way back in the day. It was during the 2008 Winter Meetings in Las Vegas, the first Winter Meetings that Joe and I attended, and I was still fast asleep in my hotel room. The news broke at like 5am local time.
That feels like a lifetime ago. RAB was less than two years old at the time and none of us here really knew what we were doing (not that we do now!). This past season was Sabathia’s tenth with the Yankees.
