Gerrit Cole dazzles in Yankees press conference

[@YungJ]

It’s awesome to watch someone achieve their childhood dream - Love seeing Cole in pinstripes. Can’t wait for the season to begin!

[@slavicharrystyles6914]

Gerrit Cole definitely wanted to be a Yankee and he makes the team 10x better. He seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders and seems like he can carry a team. This guy is different. He's the greatest FA pitcher in history.

[@bobheck7303]

NICE!

GERRIT COLE,WELCOME TOO N.Y.YANKEES, NOW WE HAVE OUR ACE!!HE'S A VERY INTELLIGENT MAN!!LET'S GET #28🔥🔥🔥

Cole was impressive i mean the guy embodies what it means to be a NYY. if that doesn't tell you he's ready for this stage idk what will. he's built for this stage his confidence to me is unmatched. i think he will fit in fine to relive your childhood dream is just mind blowing. he was a Yankee even as a kid truly amazing we got him in his prime. this young man is 29 yrs old he has every tool to succeed in NY.

Congrats Garrett Cole!!! Welcome to the Bronx, kid. You will have a tremendous career and we love having you. Wish all the best.

[@jamesmillard3773]

Gerrit Cole is so well spoken and made so many great points about how the Yankees make average players into stars and stars into legends. His background with the Yankees is truly amazing. He is literally the perfect fit for this team. He knows the history of the team, he thinks “pressure is a privilege,” and is the best pitcher in baseball. He will do so well. -Btw....If the Yankees want another great utility player, they could try and trade for Whit Merrifield. Just throwing that out there.

[@benwilliams4516]

Cole is a stud and I’m so pumped for this coming season, let’s lock up this World Series and trade for Lindor and close out the offseason. Teams won’t show up with a team that stacked

[@EmmanuelHoustonTX23]

@@michaelsweeney920 thank you I appreciate that. Well at the end of the day it is only a game played by grown talented men that are handsomely compensated . It is America and " You're innocent until proven guilty " so we hope that it is so and hope the championship isn't taken away which I believe it wont in my opinion the team is made up of more than just hitters obviously. Hurricane Harvey destroyed this city my house included, so it means a lot more than just a trophy to us . Congrats again on your new Ace and I will like to see him pitch again even if its against us .

@@EmmanuelHoustonTX23 I'm very sorry that happened to you and your city, you seem like a stand up guy as I'm sure most Texans are which is why I am also sorry for what this cheating scandal has done to your City's name and reputation as if you all haven't been through enough.. I get that championship means more to you guys than just a victory.. I'll say this.. You guys (residents) deserve that Championship.. However, the team who won it does not.. Yes there's more to winning than hitting but I firmly believe what they did was absolutely a huge factor in how some of their players performed.. As preventing runs wins games (pitching, defense) so does scoring runs (hitting) which becomes a lot easier when you know what's coming from unethical approaches.. We honestly feel cheated and to that regard I will concede you guys deserve that Championship as in the city, but the team who won it for you on the field was dirty and did not deserve to be the ones to win it for you

[@RockBottom45]

I don't think that they will sign anyone "huge" this year. Lindor would be great, but if they would have wanted a SS they could have resigned Didi. I guess all they r trying now is to cut their payroll.

That will be awesome Lindor in pinstripes and Josh Hader.#28 is just around the corner.

[@eduardodelfierro7243]

Good luck Cole with your new team thanks for all you did for the Astros. But Astros hired you to win at least one world series for 2 years, so the Astros can get 2 pitchers Lance McCullers coming back I think Greinke he is going to be fenomenal justin Verlander as usual anyway see you next season and good luck also fir Yankees players

[@OroborusFMA]

They got to Game 6 of the ALCS without an 18-4 pitcher who wasn't even on the roster. What is the media blackout on German? And no one wants to say that Chapman has a growing pedigree of choking, from the World Series with the Cubs to needing Didi to save his ass against the Twins to getting torched by the Astros. And his velocity has been trending down.

[@bigjj325]

I'm glad the Yankees landed him but I am a little concerned about this coming season. Last season he threw 249 innings combined in the regular and post season. That is his career high by around 35 innings. In the season where he threw the most innings as a Pirate, the following year they had to shut him down with arm problems.

[@RockBottom45]

We will see. Good thing is: We still have a great bullpen, which can take some innings. Only important thing is that he works good in the play offs!
