There is clearly no love lost between Blue Jays ace Alek Manoah and his Yankees counterpart Gerrit Cole.
During an appearance on Serge Ibaka’s How Hungry Are You?, Manoah didn’t hesitate much in calling out Cole when asked about “the worst cheater in baseball history” by the NBA star.
“He cheated,” Manoah said, showing a baseball grip as he discussed the allegations against Cole. “He used a lot of sticky stuff to make his pitches better, and he kinda got called out on it.”
The Yankees star is among the pitchers most heavily connected to the “sticky stuff” scandal that became major news in the MLB in 2021.
