Former MLB starter Phil Hughes isn’t merely a guy who pushes peanut butter and pickle sandwiches on Twitter. He knows exactly what it’s like to play for the New York Yankees.
He also played high school ball just minutes from free agent righty Gerrit Cole’s school in Southern California. So, when Hughes told the New York Post’s George A. King III that Cole is a perfect match for the Bronx, his words carried extra weight.
“He is very much a California guy, but that doesn’t mean anything because everyone is different,” Hughes told King.
