Former Cy Young winner CC Sabathia is finally retiring from baseball, and he's naturally looking for that perfect post-retirement job. Last year, he worked on and off with ESPN, beginning the process of becoming a broadcaster while still pitching with the New York Yankees.

However, with the ESPN deal set to expire, the six-time All Star is looking for a full-time gig on TV, and it turns out that multiple media platforms are interested in Sabathia's services.

CC, who co-hosts the R2C2 podcast with NBA commentator Ryan Ruocco, is doing anything he can to continue perfecting his craft. He recently appeared on a new episode of "The Shop," a chat show co-produced by NBA superstar LeBron James.

Even though CC just retired from the MLB, it will be a fine sight to see a former top pitcher in the league dropping gameday analysis with baseball's top media personalities. Sign this man up! He's proven his passion and toughness time and time again. Talk about a valuable free agent on the market.
