NEW YORK—The reunion that made too much sense not to happen finally did Saturday when free agent CC Sabathia agreed to a one-year, $10-million (U.S.) contract with the Yankees, a source confirmed Saturday. The deal is contingent on the left-hander passing his physical. Re-signing the 37-year-old Sabathia, respected and beloved in all corners of the Yankees clubhouse, was targeted quickly as an offseason priority. That was the case even before the Yankees were turned down by Japanese pitcher-outfielder Shohei Ohtani earlier this offseason. Once they were — the 23-year-old Ohtani chose the Angels — bringing Sabathia back into the fold became even more pressing.
