Yankees fans better hope he doesn’t blow out his arm. Would hate to see that.There’s an opt out clause after year 5 though. Hard to think they aren’t a shoe-in for the World Series in the AL, though.
He's s the best pitcher in baseball but I cant imagine the Yankees would keep him around for 9 years
If they win championships and have to deal with overpaying him the last few years, it’s totally worth it.9 years 324 million. LOL. Good luck with that.
fixed.
They kept CC around for 11 years.
CC sucks now and he hasn't been the same since 2012. Cole is already 29, so not a spring chicken. And Cole only has been good for the past 2 years. We'll see, but usually these high priced Yankee free agents end up not playing up to their contracts...
wrong. CC reinvented himself and was solid for a few years.
cole has only been good the last 2 years? That’s a joke right? He’s been a good pitcher his whole career. Had one bad year. Searage was a bum
Sure, CC was solid for many years - from 2009 to 2012. Then after that, he had one solid year with the Yanks. His strikeout numbers regressed from that point onwards.
And I take back what I said about Cole. He was a good pitcher for Pitt for several years and became an elite one for 2 years with the Astros. Many good players go to NYY to die after signing big money contracts.
Strasburg is 2 years older, but in my view, the better postseason pitcher.
Many pitchers go to Houston recently and mysteriously get much better too...

Yankees fan, are we?If they win championships and have to deal with overpaying him the last few years, it’s totally worth it.
stop hating. He’s not a toothpick like Chris sale

Yankees fan, are we?
Yankees fan, are we?
He's definitely from NYC
For sure Cole's home record might be a bit inflated due to the Astros hitters cheating...but his K/IP ratio is excellent.
Id say their pitchers didn’t really gain benefits from the camera but there have been whispers for a while about how their pitchers became great when becoming Astros. Like Verlander nearing the end of the line in Detroit, gets traded to Houston and is back to winning Cy Young’s.
Great coaching? Could be. Then again the last guy to do that was Clemens to Toronto and...we learned more about him after that.
aRe U a FrOnTrUnNeR/?yes I’m one of those jerk yankee/patriot fans. Bad look I know.
But atleast I can say I was a pats fan before SB 36. I was sort of indoctrinated into being a Yankee fan.
