The New York Yankees are all in on Gerrit Cole. Hal Steinbrenner is allowing Brian Cashman and the front office to set a record deal to go land Cole, which could be anywhere from 250 million and up.
Since the Yankees are pretty much giving Cole a blank check, it’s all on him now to decide whether or not he wants to be a Yankee. The Bombers offer everything he could want: a winning future and a huge payday. If he doesn’t end up with the Yankees, it’s simply because he didn’t want to be in pinstripes.
