Yankees: 3 recent NYY who should come back as coaches

1. CC Sabathia

The Yankees could really use CC Sabathia back for the full 162.

OK, we’ve gone a full year without CC Sabathia in the locker room — hasn’t it been long enough?

We know Sabathia has a million other projects under his belt these days, from the Players Alliance to Roots of Flight to his R2C2 podcast, as well as raising his budding top prospect son and the rest of his family. And it’ll certainly be up to him if he ever returns to the Yankees in an official capacity.

But we could certainly see Sabathia pulling an Andy Pettitte fairly soon and, like, using the team’s open locker room door to roll up and dole out some advice on an occasional road trip, perhaps parlaying that into a Spring Training instructor gig. Oh, the Yankees are coming to Anaheim? Yeah, you might just see Sabathia posted up in the locker room working on grips with Jordan Montgomery. Is he in full uniform? Yeah, with his trademark jacket. Why do you ask?

No, it’s not quite time yet, and Sabathia has a fully-packed 2021 slate — after all, did anyone get more done during quarantine? Good lord. But whenever he’s ready, there will certainly be room for his expertise.

And yes, possibly on a part-time basis over the course of the next few years.

This Yankees-Pirates trade involving Jameson Taillon could actually work

Rumors surfaced at the Winter Meetings that the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates could be talking a trade. How about this one?
