Leader Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 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.

Slateman Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think Mr. Cole can send a nice thank you to Mr. Strasburg and the Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Buster Olney - It's likely that the Yankees will pay more for Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton than the Orioles will spend on their entire team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 He got the same AAV as Trout's new money. Well, the Yankees got smug again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Joel Sherman - Cole stressed to his camp that winning a championship was his priority. He loves Orange County, but a friend told him, “When your primary goal is to win a championship, it doesn’t matter where you sleep.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roysmyboy31 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Love it. Get a legit ace, one of the best pitchers in the game. Also happened to be our biggest need. Rotation looks very nice now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Makes sense given the Yankee's pitching issues. I ? though the contract length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
