Aaron Boone skirted controversy. No surprise. He didn’t pick chopped liver. He picked Gerrit Cole.
reflects the kind of season Cortes has offered. Also, all things being equal, you would probably prefer to start a lefty against the Guardians, namely to turn switch-hitter Jose Ramirez to his weaker right side and unplug the might of Cleveland’s second-best power hitter, lefty-swinging Josh Naylor.
That was the exchange rate after the 2019 season when the Dodgers bid up Cole just to make sure the Yankees paid the fullest possible and the Angels played along, though they were probably just a hometown distraction rather than a real possibility. The Yankees went to nine years at $324 million to secure Cole to do for them what they once paid less than half — $161 million over seven years — to CC Sabathia to make happen: carry the ball from April through the postseason as a No. 1 stalwart.
“Obviously because it’s Gerrit Cole and he came here and signed the huge contract to be the long-term ace of the New York Yankees staff, nothing will ever be necessarily good enough,” Boone said.
