Yankees hire female hitting coach, believed to be a first

Oh boy

The New York Yankees have made signing right-hander Gerrit Cole their clear offseason priority and have ownership-level approval to offer him a record-setting deal, sources familiar with their plans told ESPN.

That’s waaaaay too much for Cole.

 

[VolFaninFla]

Sources: Cole to join Yankees for 9 years, $324M

Wow. Did not know that.
Cole was drafted by the Yankees in the first round with the 28th overall pick out of high school in 2008 but chose to go to UCLA,

 

[508mikey]

That’s waaaaay too much for Cole.

for any pitcher for that matter -- career spans are to short this day and age

Lol... these deals blow my mind. How can that possibly end well? I guess they’ve got so much money they just don’t care.

If they can win a few WS (I'd be cool with another 3 peat) it'd somewhat be worth it. Plus, it's not my money

 

[85SugarVol]

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!! Baby!

 

[85SugarVol]

If Cole gives us 6 elite years and we win 2 or 3 World Series? It will be more than worth it

 

[85SugarVol]

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Luis Severino
3. James Paxton
4. Masahiro Tanaka
5. Domingo German

That is filthy...

The Yankees generate $700M per year in Revenue from all the varied sources.

Had the lowest payroll as a % of revenue in all of MLB.

We’ve got the money.

They may have gotten out of paying that flop Ellsbury the 26 mil, so that would figure in
