The New York Yankees pitching ace Gerrit Cole said players need to “wake up” and understand how some teams think about players in the aftermath of former Mariners president and CEO Kevin Mather’s admission that the Seattle Mariners manipulated service time and other things.
This all involved Jarred Kelenic, who the Mariners obtained from the New York Mets in a trade that sent Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz to the Mets, a trade that likely still stings the Mets. Most sources consider Kelenic as one of the best prospects in all of baseball.
