Former Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia discussed his eagerness to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers when he was a free agent in 2008.

All-Star pitcher CC Sabathia wanted to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers when he was a free agent in 2008, but the Dodgers didn’t have enough money to sign him.

Sabathia explained his desire to play for the Boys in Blue on a recent podcast interview.

“I go to the Winter Meeting and meet with Ned Colletti, and he’s like, ‘We don’t have enough money to sign you,'” Sabathia said on the BLEAV in Dodgers podcast with Brett Tomko and Josh Luke.
