As, well, everyone knows at this point the LA Angels and free agents Gerrit Cole have been linked together for what seems like the better part of a year.
Following the Astros’ Game 7 loss, a game in which Gerrit Cole watched from the bullpen awaiting an appearance that never came, Cole appeared shortly after the game and declared himself no longer an employee of the Astros. He seemed very bothered by manager AJ Hinch’s decision to leave Cole in the bullpen.
Ultimately, the marriage between Gerrit Cole and the Houston Astros seems over, and Cole will find himself on the open road soon.
