CC Sabathia on entering the Hall of Fame and wearing a Yankees cap on his plaque
CC Sabathia will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame this July and tells USA TODAY Sports why his plaque will feature him wearing a Yankees cap.
Sports Seriously
Major League Baseball's roster of ballparks looks a bit different in 2025 with the Athletics (Sacramento) and Rays (Tampa) playing in temporary digs this season.
The Athletics' Sutter Health Park and Rays' George M. Steinbrenner Field are both minor-league stadiums, with their substantially lower capacities making them the two smallest ballparks in MLB right now.
MLB STADIUM RANKINGS: Baseball travelers rank favorite ballparks
Dodger Stadium holds more fans – 56,000 – that any other baseball stadium, with Chase Field (Diamondbacks), T-Mobile Park (Mariners), Coors Field (Rockies) and Yankee Stadium rounding out the top five in terms of capacity.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Rays' temporary home (which is the Yankees' spring training facility) holds just 11,026 fans and the Athletics' ballpark (home of Giants' Class AAA team) ranks second-smallest with a capacity of 13,416. Progressive Field (Guardians), LoanDepot Park (Marlins) and Fenway Park (Red Sox) are MLB's three other smallest ballparks.
Here's a look at the full list:

Yankees Build a Better Team After Losing Out on Juan Soto
Sometimes, as the saying goes, the best deals are the ones you don't make. It's a small sample size and very early in the process, but so far, the New York Yankees are fortunate to have not signed Juan Soto. Soto chose the New York Mets for a 15-year, $765 million contract, shunning an offer to return to the Yankees for 16 years, $760 million. Advertisement More from No question the Yanks wanted to keep Soto. They went to the World Series last fall for the first time since 2009 with Soto hitting ahead of Aaron Judge in the lineup, but lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games. When Soto then became a free agent and signed with Mets, the Yankees pivoted and spent a portion of that money elsewhere, signing Max Fried and Paul Goldschmidt as free agents and trading for Cody Bellinger and Devin Williams for a projected outlay of $283 million. The team they built is running away with the American League East at a fraction of the long-term cost of a deal with Soto. They lead the fourth-place Boston Red Sox by nine games already and are playing them for the first time in 2025 this weekend at Yankee Stadium. Soto is batting .232 with 11 homers, 31 RBIs and an .802 OPS so far this season; he will get better and is doing so already with three homers in his last five games through Wednesday night. Judge, playing without him, is having another monster season as the Mets have been jockeying for first place in the National League East with the Philadelphia Phillies. Judge's OPS: 1.237. Advertisement Thus far, advantage Yankees. 'It seems that way now,' David Cone, the former Yankees pitcher and currently ESPN and Yes Network color analyst, said in an interview this past weekend at Dodger Stadium. 'Ten years from now we'll make that judgment, but this year, the first half of the season? Absolutely.' For the Yanks, of course, this is a very short-term snapshot. Fried is signed for eight years, $218 million. But he has his own history of left arm problems, including Tommy John ligament replacement surgery that caused him to miss 2015 as a prospect with the San Diego Padres and a forearm issue that cost a month last season with the Atlanta Braves. Bellinger ($26.7 million), Goldschmidt ($12.5 million) and Williams ($8.6 million) can all walk away after this season. Goldschmidt and Williams are unrestricted free agents on one-year deals. Bellinger has the second of two player options his agent Scott Boras threaded into the three-year, $80 million deal he signed in 2024 with the Chicago Cubs. Bellinger is the fourth highest-paid player this season on the team behind Judge ($40 million), Fried ($27.3 million) and Carlos Rodon ($27 million). Advertisement Those potential departures give the Yankees some maneuverability next offseason in the free agent market and financial room this year to upgrade at the July 31 trade deadline. The Yankees have the third-highest payroll in Major League Baseball for luxury tax purposes at $310.9 million, according to Spotrac, and the team is putting on a master class in short-term roster construction under today's collectively-bargained system. The Yanks spent $74.6 million on Fried, Bellinger, Goldschmidt and Williams, while Soto is earning $61.2 million alone from the Mets for luxury tax purposes. 'They've done very well with the money they spent this year, no question about it,' Cone said. 'The Yankees are much more well-rounded defensively. [Former Yanks, Mets and current A's pitcher] Luis Severino said the Yankees last year were a team with only two hitters: Judge and Soto. They've caught up with the Dodgers offensively and depth-wise.' Fried wouldn't be in New York had Soto chosen the Yankees. Advertisement At the time, the contract conversations with both players were occurring on concurrent tracks. Fried was New York's second choice. It was universally considered that Fried wanted to play where he grew up, in the Los Angeles area. But he also let it be known to the Yanks he was very much in favor of playing in the Bronx. 'Mostly I had a bunch of meetings, but before making a decision, I was just waiting for Soto to sign,' Fried said this past weekend at Dodger Stadium. Soto announced his decision on Dec. 8 at the Winter Meetings in Dallas and two days later Fried signed with the Yankees. The dominoes then started to fall. On Dec. 13 Williams was obtained in a trade with Milwaukee and Bellinger came over from the Cubs four days later. Goldschmidt was the last to sign on Dec. 30. With that the Yankees closed shop for the offseason. Advertisement While Williams has struggled at times in his back of the bullpen role, the other three have exceeded expectations. Fried, for one, replaced the injured Gerrit Cole and opened 7-0 with a 1.28 ERA before losing to the Dodgers this past Friday. His experience pitching at Yankee Stadium has exceeded his expectations. 'I love it,' Fried said. 'I'm very happy with where I'm at. Everything happened for a reason. I'm just happy I'm here with the Yankees.' The Yankees are happy to have him.
