Yankees’ Josh Donaldson says Gerrit Cole beef has been squashed
Kim Klement | USA TODAY SportsJosh Donaldson and Gerrit Cole have gone from rivals to friends, if you believe the Yankees third baseman.
Donaldson appeared on Ryan Ruocco and CC Sabathia’s R2C2 podcast this week and discussed the two’s new friendship as teammates. In case anyone forgot, the former MVP directly called out Cole last season over the righty ace’s alleged use of Spider Tack to doctor the baseball.
Sure enough, when Donaldson was acquired from the Twins last month, some wondered if the two would get along.
Well, as Donaldson said on the podcast, the beef is no more and he and Cole are friendly.
