New York Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia underwent angioplasty earlier this month after doctors at New York-Presbyterian Hospital discovered a blockage to one of his arteries and installed a stent.
The 38-year old southpaw is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for spring training. Sabathia signed a one year, $8 million contract with the Yankees last month. Sabathia went 9-7 with a 3.65 ERA in 29 starts in 2018, his tenth season in a Yankees uniform.
Listed at 300 pounds, Sabathia is probably larger than that. The fact that he is having heart problems when he has not yet reached 40 is troubling. Frankly he is quite lucky. I can only hope he will make the necessary adjustments to his diet so as to prevent further problems down the road, especially after his playing career ends as expected following the 2019 season.
