Yankees: Cole talks about working with Sanchez and Higashioka; weighs in on LeMahieu and Tanaka’s free agencies

New York Yankees’ marquee signing of last season, Gerrit Cole, hadn’t spoken with the media since their season ended against the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series. He had a roller-coaster-like year that saw him make a string of mediocre starts, but he finished strong and had a 2.84 ERA (3.89 FIP) in 2020.

He talked with YES Network reporter Meredith Marakovits on Yankees’ Hot Stove this week, and discussed several subjects in the encounter.

It was reported that Cole preferred working with Kyle Higashioka as his catcher, but he did praise Gary Sanchez too while talking about the New York Yankees’ situation behind the plate.
