New York Yankees news, 5/14/20: Mike Francesa rants over CC Sabathia weight loss, owners vs players war igniting

Mark Fischer | New York Post: CC Sabathia is one of the most well-known Yankees players in the team’s history. While he just recently retired after the 2019 season, Sabathia spent 11 years with the Yankees, compiling a 3.81 overall ERA, 307 games played, and nearly 2000 innings pitched. His time with the Bombers was mainly successful, playing nearly his entire 30s with the club. He recently lost a ton of weight, which has, for whatever reason, forced Mike Francesa to rant.

Some are curious as to why Sabathia didn’t slim down during his playing career, and Francesa shot back stating that he doesn’t believe losing weight would have helped his arm in the latter portion of his career.
