BOSTON -- It's the Yankees' call if they want to pay CC Sabathia the $500,000 in bonus cash he may have cost himself by getting ejected from Friday's game, three league sources told NJ Advance Media on Friday.
"It's perfectly within their right if they think he earned the bonus," one source said.
But just giving him the money could also be problematic, the sources said.
The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they didn't want to speak publicly on the team's decision-making.
If the Yankees wanted, one source said, they could just amend the 38-year-old's contract, effectively shortening the goalposts for him.
