Gerrit Cole Signs with Yankees (9/324)

Jack Curry -  Just spoke to Scott Boras. Asked the agent what helped make Gerrit Cole choose the Yankees and he said, “Five conversations with Hal Steinbrenner,” and “Andy Pettitte.” Boras was impacted by Hal’s persistence and Cole was influenced by Andy’s stories about pitching in NY.

Its about time we went back to our spending ways... ever since George passed we've gone away from what worked. We built a nice team... but starting pitching has always been mediocre.

1. Gerrit Cole

2. Luis Severino

3. Domingo German (Happ or Montgomery  at beginning of season)

4. Masahiro Tanaka

5. James Paxton

We should be set!

Makes sense given the Yankee's pitching issues. I ? though the contract length.

Once Strasburg got 7 yrs $245mil,this was bound to happen.

Strasburg's is more risky due to only pitching 200 IP 2 times, and hes 31.   Both getting paid until 38

 

Dodgers offered Cole similar money, they felt he chose the Yankees simply because he wanted to be a Yankee.
