HumpLinks: Lumps Of Cole For The Right Stocking

THE HOT CORNER

We hear that the Yankees are meeting this week with Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg. No surprise there. And we are hearing that the Yankees are making Cole their top priority. No big surprise, either. The Yankees are very close, have a need that Cole fills perfectly, have the willingness to spend big especially on long-term top-of-the-rotation pitching talent, and are happy to make sure that nobody gets a Cole cheap anyway.

You might be thinking, though, that this is more smoke than fire, and that it is Arte’s destiny to pay up for the local boy.
