TAMPA — CC Sabathia is getting started on a post-baseball career before he is done playing.
Sabathia plans to retire following this season, his 19th in the big leagues and 11th with the Yankees. He has signed on with ESPN to do 15 appearances so far on a variety of shows — including “SportsCenter,” “Get Up,” “First Take,” “Golic and Wingo” and occasionally “Baseball Tonight.”
It isn’t every day that an active player moves into another field of work, but Sabathia has been doing the podcast “Uninterrupted” with Ryan Ruocco for two years during the season.
