So far this offseason, the New York Yankees have been heavily pursuing free-agent pitcher Gerrit Cole. The Yankees have also just received very encouraging news about their chances of landing the marquee All-Star pitcher.
During the Yankees four-plus hour visit with Cole, the 29-year-old reportedly provided some clarity regarding the rumors of his potential stance of remaining on the West Coast.
According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the highly touted free-agent pitcher stated to the Yankees’ brass that those apparent rumors are untrue.
Gerrit Cole assured the Yankees he has “no West Coast bias” at yesterday’s meeting which lasted 4 plus hours.
