The moment the news broke that New York Yankees signed star pitcher Gerrit Cole to a nine-year, $324 million deal, the starters in the rotation began to celebrate with joy, starting with Luis Severino via Twitter. Adding such a lucrative arm to the mix should give the Bomber’s a significant boost in the efficiency department, and it should make their playoff hopes even more realistic.
Cole, 29, earned a 2.50 ERA with 326 strikeouts in 2019, both career-highs, which makes him not only the best pitcher on the Yankees but arguably in all of baseball.
