Correct.

Walter Young played about 14 games for Baltimore in 2005. He weighed in at 322 pounds. He reportedly left baseball and became a prison guard, but sadly passed away at age 35.

Currently Bautista(Orioles), Manoah(Jays), Tony Santillian(Reds), and Luken Baker(Cardinals) are all listed as 285 lbs. Aaron Judge comes in 3 lbs. less.

I didn't come across any source that listed Sabathia as the heaviest of all time. Most listed Young as the heaviest of all time.

Judge is listed as 3 pounds lighter than the 4 players I listed as current heaviest.

Charles Barkley
And
Lorenzen ?

correct !

Jared Lorenzen played at 300 lbs at Kentucky and briefly at NY Giants, later hit 500 lbs and tragically passed due to health issues

(how people on a Toronto based escort board know a football player mostly known in the commonwealth of Kentucky is beyond me)

Correct.

CC Sabathia's playing weight fluctuated throughout his career. At his peak, he weighed 342 pounds, and he later lost significant weight to 285 pounds. He eventually settled at around 290 pounds, which he felt was better for his performance.

I believe you, but I can't find anything online that lists him as the heaviest player of all time. A couple of web sites, including baseball reference list him as 300 lbs.
