Yankees have had three opportunities to get front line starters the best two years:

Verlander (went to Astros)

Cole (went to Astros)

Corbin (went to Nationals)

guess which two teams will be in the world series?

You mean Grienke, right? Cole wasnt a front line starter when the Astros acquired him.

No I mean Cole

He absolutely was... he was coming off a bad year but it was clearly a fluke / he was a top-5 talent with a track record 

If you go back to the time of that trade mission was very vocal about how good Cole was and compared him to Max Scherzer when he was traded to Detroit

Could’ve had him for Clint Frazier.  Passing was a big big mistake

He had one season where he achieved that. The rest of his time in Pittsburgh was disappointing. He had an injured year in 2015 and a 4+ ERA in 2016.

If anyone had thought he had Max Scherzer level talent, they would have ponied up. But Cole's performance didnt warrant it.
