Former Houston Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole declared himself no longer “an employee of the team” within minutes of Houston’s World Series defeat at the hands of the Washington Nationals on October 30. But despite rumors that Cole will sign with a southern California team, near his boyhood home, a future Hall of Fame New York Yankees hurler has a different idea.
Yankees lefty CC Sabathia retired at the conclusion of the 2019 campaign, after spending the last 11 seasons of his 19-year career with the Yankees. Now he has apparently decided to spend his time stumping for free agents to sign with his former club — starting with Cole. And according to the New York Post, the 39-year-old Sabathia knows just what it will take to persuade Cole to join the Bronx Bombers.
“If you give that motherf***** enough money, he’s going to want to come here,” Sabathia said on the Tuesday edition of his podcast, R2C2 is UNINTERRUPTED, as quoted by the New York Post.
