Cobb could have provided some solid help to the starting rotation. However, the pairing is not destined to be. According to Peter Gammons, the race for the right hander will come down to the Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees.
That is kind of an awkward situation for a couple of reasons. The first being that Cobb may end up in the division, which I will circle back around to. However, the other part of this is that the Yankees don’t really feel like major players in this potential signing.
First off, Cobb will be a pricy and multi-year signing.
