Yankees Mailbag: Supporting Gerrit Cole, playoffs and front office dynamics
Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesGood morning everyone, are you ready for another round of mailbag questions? Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
Ruff Trade asks: Shouldn’t the front office be doing more to support the signing of one Gerrit Cole? Isn’t it a waste to throw 324 million dollars at an ace and then stop? Re-signing Tanaka and/or Paxton could still happen, of course, but shouldn’t there be a stronger desire to pry loose a difference maker like Castillo? They already blew it with Carrasco. Kluber is a lottery ticket and not a sure thing and we don’t even know if that’s going to happen.
