Former Yankees ace CC Sabathia didn't mince words when reacting to Clint Frazier's recent social media activity. After Frazier playfully suggested on X that he should join the Bleacher Creatures for Game 3 of the ALDS, Sabathia shot back with a biting Instagram comment featuring a clown emoji and some NSFW language. Clearly, any camaraderie from their days as Yankees teammates has fizzled.
Frazier, now with the Cubs, has been outspoken about his time in pinstripes. Since signing with the Cubs four years ago, he's been critical of the Yankees' reliance on analytics and even doubted their World Series potential this year. "They do dumbass s–t," Frazier quipped, never one to shy away from controversy.
Frazier's comments have often ruffled feathers, especially when he took issue with the Yankees' strategic decisions, such as sitting key players like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice during the wild-card series. His departure from the Yankees has been anything but quiet, and he seems comfortable taking shots at his former team from afar.
“That kid played 15 games in the f–king big leagues. Get the f–k out of here with all these stupid-ass f–king stories,” Sabathia reportedly said, expressing his exasperation with Frazier's media presence.
As the Yankees face off against the Blue Jays in the ALDS, tensions are running high. After dropping Game 1 in a rough 10-1 loss, the Yankees are looking to rally as the series progresses. With Luis Gil's early exit and missed opportunities leaving fans anxious, every game counts as they try to climb back from the early deficit.
The Yankees' next move will be crucial, as they will need more than just a strong fan presence to overcome the Jays. But with the intense backdrop of Sabathia and Frazier's clash, the drama both on and off the field is set to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
