TAMPA, Fla. -- Once Josh Donaldson donned the pinstripes for the first time since being acquired by the New York Yankees late Sunday night, the former American League MVP and ace Gerrit Cole decided to let bygones be bygones.
Donaldson, acquired from the Minnesota Twins alongside shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and catcher Ben Rortvedt in exchange for catcher Gary Sanchez and infielder Gio Urshela, had called out Cole in June of last year after MLB's crackdown on the use of foreign substances by pitchers.
