The inspiration to this piece comes directly from Corey Brock who covers the Seattle Mariners for “The Athletic”. He penned a piece making his case for why the Mariners should be in on assumed 2019 AL Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole. The piece is well written and does a good job laying out what is a fair case for Seattle’s pursuit of Cole.
And of course, as social media is prone to do, they took a good article and ran with it and it was difficult to find a discussion around the Mariners that didn’t center around the question, “should the Mariners sign Gerrit Cole”?
