Gerrit Cole a Yankee

[bksballer89]

This one will back fire eventually.

Since they are the Yanks it won’t hurt like it would most teams.

But this contract will be ass eventually

If they get 2 WS titles and 6 really good years of Cole then it is a success IMO

 

[bksballer89]

Reading now that the Dodgers topped out at 8/$300M, which is actually a higher AAV than the Yanks deal.

Which is why I don't get the too much money BS. He was going to get 300 million wherever he signed

There is no salary cap so they can pay whatever they want.

Really?

 

[navamind]

The Yankees are ruining baseball

I can't believe they signed Harper, Machado and Strasburg!

fwiw, Steamer projects Cole to have the best WAR among all pitchers in 2020

Yanks supposed to stand pat and not improve i guess lol

 

[bksballer89]

I do think it was sarcasm

What about 1 title and 4 good years?

If all are healthy, this is a pretty freaking good rotation: Gerrit Cole, Luis Severino, James Paxton, Masahiro Tanaka, Domingo German

 

[molsaniceman]

As long as he has the career ellsbury did with the yanks Im happy with it

Yankees Break the Bank to Land Gerrit Cole

still plenty left

The New York Yankees are the most valuable team ($4.6 billion) and had local revenue of $712 million last year, the most in MLB and more than the bottom six teams (Miami Marlins, Tampa Bay Rays, Oakland Athletics, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles) had combined. The Dodgers ($3.3 billion), Boston Red Sox ($3.2 billion), Chicago Cubs ($3.1 billion) and San Francisco Giants ($3 billion) round out the list of teams worth at least $3 billion.

That's not including YES, which is valued at approximately $4B all by itself.

This is gonna look real bad if Cole can't stay healthy or maintain his production. Even the Yankees can't eat that much salary without feeling the pain. Congrats on Cole for getting himself set for life though.

Cole looked totally different yesterday with his beard gone. but he wanted to be a yankee and the beards gotta go.

dumb rule

dumb rule

Kind of funny they stick to the no facial hair rule, but they're A-OK with splashing the Nike logo on an iconic uniform unchanged in almost 100 years.

That pissed me off more than anything yesterday.
