Southpaw Sabathia signs 1-year deal with Yankees

CC Sabathia, a 37-year-old left-handed pitcher who helped the New York Yankees win the 2009 World Series, signed a one-year deal on Tuesday to return for a 10th season with the Major League Baseball club.

Sabathia, who reportedly will make US$10 million, is coming off a season in which he suffered a right knee injury in August but returned in October to help the Yankees come within one game of the World Series before falling to eventual champion Houston in the American League Championship Series. Sabathia went 14-5 with a 3.69 earned-run average last season and is 120-73 with a 3.75 ERA in 255 starts over nine seasons with the Yankees. Sabathia returns to a Yankees rotation that includes Masahiro Tanaka, Sonny Gray and Luis Severino. Sabathia is baseball’s active leader with 2,846 career strikeouts and 3,317 innings pitched over 17 seasons. He is 237-146 with a 3.70 ERA with Cleveland, Milwaukee and the Yankees.
