There’s certainly no hiding the fact that the New York Yankees have been one of the many teams who are extremely interested in marquee pitcher Gerrit Cole.
However, the Yankees may be in danger of losing out on the three-time All-Star to one of the two teams in Los Angeles.
According to Andy Martino of SNY, there’s a sense that Cole would prefer to sign with one of either the Dodgers or the Angels over the Yankees this winter.
There is a general industry perception that Gerrit Cole prefers the west coast, but the Yankees don’t have any specific information from the agent or player to indicate he would choose California over Bronx.
