When the best arm in baseball takes his talents to the free-agent market, every competitive team’s ears prick up with interest. The New York Yankees have more than just an interest in Gerrit Cole this offseason, as reports have stated they are all in on the World Series runner up from 2019.
Cole had evaded the Yankees all these years from his 2008 decision to go to UCLA instead of joining the Yankees farm system and again in 2017 when he was traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Houston Astros. You know what they say, “third time is a charm,” and the Bombers are in a position to finally lure him to the Bronx, a place where players live and die.
