Report: Yankees Waiting For Pirates To Blink In Cole Talks

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Though the Yankees are no closer to landing right-hander Gerrit Gole today than they were a month ago, they remain patient.

The Bombers are using the same approach in their reported pursuit of the Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander as they are with the Baltimore Orioles in discussions involving third baseman Manny Machado.

In both cases, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman appears determined to wait out his potential trade partners.
