Gerrit Cole: 'I Just Don't Think This Is the Forum' to Talk About Foreign Substances

New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole explained why he hesitated Tuesday when he was asked if he ever used the substance Spider Tack to help improve the spin rate on his pitches.

"I hesitated yesterday on the specificity of the question because I just don't think this is the forum to discuss those kinds of things," he told reporters Wednesday after his team's 9-6 win over the Minnesota Twins.
