Yankees GM Brian Cashman might not be seen loitering in the lobby, but his team will be the talk of the meetings. The Yankees are in position to further lay the groundwork to sign Gerrit Cole, the best cut of meat in the free-agent market, or shock the baseball universe by walking out Thursday with the right-handed stud’s signature on the biggest contract ever given to a pitcher.
Represented by Scott Boras, who has the fortitude to wait late in the process while searching for the best deal, Cole is a fit for just three teams but will dominate the conversation.
