On Tuesday, a contingent of Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone, and new pitching coach Matt Blake, met with Gerrit Cole out in California. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the introductory meeting went well.
Yanks had “very nice” introductory meeting with Gerrit Cole yesterday. No $ specifically discussed. They are selling him on being a Yankee and winning. Also key: “the dollars will be there.” The Yankees believe he’d thrive in NY but also believe he may prefer LA.
Additionally, Joel Sherman of the NY Post reported that the Yankees brass “felt a good rapport” with Cole.
