C. C. Sabathia might reunite with his old buddy, Cliff Lee
During the good old days, two pitchers used to be together in the Cleveland Indians’ roster. They were both compatriots and their wives were the best of friends.
You look at the previous paragraph and wonder if I’m talking about a good old story, on friendship. It’s okay to be confused here because the direction of this article takes a look at two pitchers who were part of a single team, once. The New York Yankees
ace pitcher, Charles Carsten Sabathia is regarded as one of the top players in Major League baseball and his club has been on the pursuit of his former team mate, Cliff Lee.
Lee and Sabathia were friends in the same clubhouse. Both men were separated by fate and now it seems there is a possibility that both men could reunite again. The pair of Lee and Sabathia is something to be frightened of and it could become a possibility
if the New York Yankees pull lee from the free agency. The club has already placed an offer of $140 million on the table and that has some believing the Yanks will get the deal done soon.
When Sabathia was questioned about his influence on the approach made by the Yanks, he said he wasn’t going to involve himself in the process.
“I went through this process two years ago,” said Sabathia. “And if somebody was calling me every 10 minutes, hounding me -- 'What's going on, what are you going to do?' -- it would just kind of mess up the friendship.”
"I haven't said anything this off-season," said Charles. "We talk, you know. ... It's a friendship, so we have different conversations about different things. He knows it would be great for us to play together again, but like I said, you can't pressure anybody
into that decision or try to make up their mind for them. It's a lifestyle change, and it's something that he has to feel comfortable with making the decision."
The Yankee ace doesn’t really know where Lee sways. However he was able to admit that space was important, since he too had gone through the same process before. The likelihood of Lee ending up anywhere seems too hard to call. Kristen Lee, Cliff’s wife and
Amber Sabathia, Charles’ wife, are good friends. If one were to judge on the basis of their friendship, we’d probably have to say Lee is moving to New York City.
