After a devastating loss in the World Series to the Washington Nationals, Houston Astros star pitcher Gerrit Cole made it known that he was no longer an employee of his ‘former’ team. The New York Yankees were certainly watching as Cole was reluctant to comment on the loss in Game 7.
Cole stated after the loss, “I’m not an employee of the team…” He further went on to say he would speak, “I guess as a representative of myself.”
The league’s best pitcher is now on the open market, and the Yankees would be foolish not to pursue his talents, despite general manager Brian Cashman stating the starting pitching is more than fine after being knocked out of the playoffs in the ALCS.
