This is so crazy. I’m born and raised in LA and I remember seeing Gerrit Cole pitch at OLU when he was in High School. Every time he pitched, it was on of those can’t-miss games. I remember seeing the stands packed so much that there were fans along the fences outside the field. All just to watch Cole pitch. Every time he threw a ball you would just see 30 radar guns go up in the air and hear someone say “95” after. Now he just signed with the Yankees for $324 Million. CRAZY! It’s also crazy because the Yankees was the team who drafted him out of high school in the 1st Round. But he ultimately went to UCLA. Everything is coming full circle. Congrats!

He moved the family full-time to Alpine, NJ, and brought his charity with him to The Bronx and New Jersey. On the mound, he dressed and looked like a baggy working stiff.

Michael L. Get rid of aldjuar

[@cityhawk]

Happ definitely needs to get dealt. I want to give Stanton another year to clear up is injury issues. As for Andujar, love his bat, but his glove is atrocious, however, he’s a valuable chip if the Yankees want to trade for someone like Kluber.

[@Lord_Bibulous]

@@cityhawk If he learns to play 1st he can be valuable to the team.

[@sammeli1365]

I’m glad we got him. But I remember when 20 million a year was ridiculous. But 36 MILLION PER YEAR? a 3 year 36 million dollar deal used to be a big contract (while short term). But that’s PER YEAR. HOLY FUCK

[@TRUMPER1776]

Let’s GO YANKEES !!!💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mattrufflez8341]

High Treason / Death Penalty? Somebody a bit salty

[@tonylozado4313]

High Treason??? 😂😂😂 27 championships. Losers??? Jajajajajajaja get lost

[@Nono_713]

BROOKLYN 77 go to hell u mean

[@verypocoloco4823]

@High Treason / Death Penalty? Almost lost to the rays thats 1. 2 lost to the nats in the WS. And 3 you have to cheat to win

[@terell2k12]

A-Rod/CC should have won more rings, I was a bit disappointed esp for A-Rod. However I am happy about this Hal/Cash have been stating how important winning is despite shedding salary this finally proved it. Not only do you gain Cole you dont have to face him & Verlander with your season on the line.

[@eliteheran1541]

Miami fan here, been watching the yanks since G.Stanton got traded to you. YALL STACKED !!!!! 😳

[@eliteheran1541]

Also, Stanton is going to have a much better yet this year. I have watched him since he was on the “Florida” Marlins as a 21 year old. That’s him. Good year, bad year recovering year, monster year.

[@MikeCenteno41]

Yankee fan here. Absolutely love Stanton. Been watching him with the Marlins (admittedly not since the Florida days). But I’ve always liked the kind of player he is. He’s absolutely going to go off this season.

[@raymondbryce5135]

Go Yankees Go!!!

[@GSP-76]

9 years is crazy but Cole is only 29 so I think this contract will be worth it for many years...I think this makes Yankees the favorite to win it all next year.

[@robertroman1554]

Go Yankees

[@bobheck7303]

100%!

[@CheeseMasterSports]

Good job Yankees, I can respect this move. As a Reds fan, I understand teams need to do what they need to do. Well done, Cashman. Oh, and by the way, the Twins are property of the Yankees

[@obliterateopio2963]

Michael, I think the Yankees have known for a long time that an Ace pitcher was going to be the last piece we needed to be unstoppable. Hal was just waiting for the right guy. We all owe Hal an apology for calling him cheap. I’m glad he ponied up for Cole over Corbin.

[@paulpagoaga805]

This guy will give us few rings plus our young pitchers will learn from the best pitcher in MLB win win for our Yankees.

[@DJ_107]

At the time, he wasn’t even the ace on the Astros, how would he be the best pitcher in the MLB?

[@ronrinaldi1789]

Ok,here it is.dont matter how much you spend on players.like Jeter said it's getting hot in the playoffs that counts.hitting and pitching,ask the nationals.

[@TheBoochoo21]

He should of won the cy.. Highway robbery..

[@bobheck7303]

100%!

[@jesussaves2043]

Why don't they just pay a guy to hit a trash can in the dugout hall way?

[@robertocruz8429]

🤔

[@calamarbronx83]

Dam Didi. I'm gonna miss you. What a fukin player!

[@darkmephilez]

Strausberg was the biggest signing. Go Nats! World Champions!

[@jonathanvasquez9430]

Forget Harper, Forget Machado this is what they needed and it got done. All those fans that complained at the trade deadline for not acquiring an ace are complaining now for getting him?? We needed an ace. The offense is good. They have the Money and Cashman is not done yet! He will make some trades to clear some salary aswell. The Yanks are finally in a WIN NOW mentality. Just like 2009. Im excited for theese next few years.

[@1005kennedy]

Price is making 31 sounds like a bargain!

[@billshamrock449]

If Angels signed Cole how would they be able to build more without going way over luxury tax bs

[@TheDex302]

Everyone is saying how intelligent Cole is. If that’s so, midway through or even towards the end of his contract, he should be able to reinvent himself to compensate for diminished stuff.

[@tylerhuntdesign]

The Angels need depth though. They would be much smarter to take the money they allocated for Cole and spread it out among two or three quality guys. Cole alone doesn't put them over the top as a playoff contender, but added depth could make all the difference next year..

[@anthonyfuller9933]

Regular season doesnt matter. This dude can win 2 or 3 games in a 7 game series. That is what matters.

[@djnawho]

i love getting him, but did we really need to, Houston is the only team we had trouble with, Verlander will be a year older and Cole would have been gone, but still glad we got him, just think we won 103 games last year withour Stanton, Cole, and Severino, this year is gonna be a bloodbath

[@johnpestano22]

i'm glad we passed on Corbin bc Cole is better than him. Cole is the best SP in the AL idc if JV won CY. Cole has better stuff his slider is nasty and he has a power fastball that can blow the best hitters away.

[@michaelborneman971]

He's 29 right? This could be one of the worst contracts in baseball history.

[@thomaslatimer571]

I’m happy

[@vincent.m.durham1695]

Welcome To New York Gerrit Cole. GO YANKEES. 😎

[@JVIPER88]

Gerrit Cole is great, but starting pitching wasn't the reason why the Yankees lost in the playoffs last season. It was the fact that the offense does nothing but strikeout or hit homeruns (strikeouts being more likely against better playoff rotations). And the "Best in the League" bullpen, which gave up big hit after big hit.

[@usernameussername9835]

Cole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@somedudewitharpg4424]

Cole got an early Christmas gift

[@MrBen575]

How can they not win the ring this season.Its already done.

[@somedudewitharpg4424]

ben wadham yee and he got his mooney

[@kenrex1126]

Hallelujah!

[@vecumex9466]

Signing Cole could turn into 5 WS rings in the next 9 years

[@dustingreen4257]

Carlos R Gonzalez Weins 😂

[@bobheck7303]

Yes.

[@richardmartinez6437]

Didn’t the Nats just prove $ cant buy you chips?

[@nickycentral7345]

No they proved that you can win chips without money. That’s not a two way street.

[@yankeemike8699]

???? They got Scherzer and Corbin in free agency

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

Don got it wrong about fast forward which is 2028 about the Yankees hadn’t won the World Series after win the 28 title eight years earlier

[@danny2131]

I'm a die hard yankee fan , and this is stupid . Nobody is worth that
