You don't have to sugarcoat the New York Yankees' struggles when talking with one of its legends in CC Sabathia. He knows the last time the team went to the World Series was in his first season in 2009, and despite his best efforts in 2017 and 2019 when they made it to the ALCS, the Bronx Bombers haven't been able to capture that elusive 28th world championship. 

The Yankees were able to make it to the ALCS again last year, too, but they were swept by the eventual World Series champion Houston Astros. But, instead of enacting some revenge in 2023, the season has been the definition of a dud for a World Series hopeful squad put together by its long-time GM, Brian Cashman. 

With the offseason fast approaching and the Yankees' playoff hopes gone, Cashman knows this offseason needs to see big changes in the Bronx. Some, though, question Cashman's abilities because this season saw his moves fall through except for inking captain Aaron Judge to a long-term deal.

Sabathia believes so. 

"I think if you look at Cash’s track record, whether good or bad, he does stuff," said Sabathia at his 3rd Annual Charity Golf Tournament for his PitCCh In Foundation on Tuesday at Alpine Country Club in New Jersey. "He’s not going to sit on his hands and let this year be a failure and not do anything to this roster.
