While both were inevitable, the impending closures of RAB and CC Sabathia’s career still seem hard to fathom. Both have been fixtures for Yankee fans for over a decade now and 2020 and beyond will be strange without them for those of us that have known nothing but.

We were so used to Sabathia being so good for so long–before and during his time as a Yankee–that his struggles felt interminable.
