Starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia has released a statement on his website CCSabathia52.com saying that he will not discuss a long-term contract during the season. He does not want any contract talk to happen during the season as it could be a distraction for himself and the team.
That is a great move by C.C. in my opinion. The money is going to be there for him, and he doesn’t want to jeopardize the contract talk to hurt the team as they make another push for a playoff run.
