MLB Rumors: Latest Buzz on Gerrit Cole, 2020-21 Contracts and Mets Bids
When looking at the best pitchers in the MLB right now, it’s no surprise to see Gerrit Cole make the list.
But, is the recently acquired Yankee currently the best pitcher in the league? An anonymous American League executive thinks so.
The Athletic recently put together a list ranking starting pitchers in baseball, from aces to applicants to everyone else. Cole was the first name to come up under the “aces” tier, and one AL executive detailed why Cole deserves that spot:
“He is the best pitcher on the list. I don’t know that you can point to a weakness, and then he does it for 200 innings. If I had to pick one pitcher for a game where I was betting my life, I would pick Gerrit.”
