When the New York Yankees signed Gerrit Cole to a nine-year, $324 million contract, every pitcher in the starting rotation was moved down a slot. Despite the reconfiguration of the unit, the Yankees still have stellar options and are prepared to have one of the more authoritative seasons we have seen in quite some time, and that’s after a 103-win campaign in 2019.
Cole, who had a 2.50 ERA and 326 strikeouts last season, both career-highs, will be the No. 1 starter for the Bombers, with Luis Severino and James Paxton slotting in close behind.
