Cole signs with the Yankees

[stevenash]

Record 9 year, 324 million dollar deal.
Makes the NY Yankees the clear front runners to win the AL Championship.

[JMobile]

Holy shit....

[2daBank]

Douche bag goes to the ultimate douche team, fitting. Couldn’t win the other way so they keep adding more and more huge contracts. Hope they all get hurt.

[lakerboy]

Yanks will regret this deal in a few years. This might get them a title but it will be painful later. No player who plays every 5 days is worth big bucks

[nyplayer33]

Yanks sign cole huge deal

Several sources indicate 9yr contract worth 324 million

[nyplayer33]

Hes a great pitcher....but tons of $$

[DiggityDaggityDo]

So he's going to earn about a mil per start?

Not a bad payday.

Agreed, no starter is worth a nine year deal.
If you think about it not many long term free agent pitcher signing in the past have panned out with the exceptions being Greg Maddox, Randy Johnson, Clemens, Mussina, and a few others.
Relief free agent pitcher signings have never panned out either long term.

Cole more than likely will begin to flame out I figure around year five or six of that deal so in order for that signing to payoff the Yankees had better win their division at least four times in his first five seasons and reach the World Series twice.

Lol look at Chapman enough said and it’s a hard park to pitch in take Paxton for example

[ThaTopMoron]

can't wait to see the juice he has on some of his starts and watch ppl who bet heavy faves/juice in sports and bet baseball get buried by them lol

cole ruined my 5 team MLB parlay every other -175 + team won...

[burtonrider726]

Verlander and Astros lost some chalked lines didn’t they? -500 or so.

Agreed

[darrell74]

Bad contract
Bad for the league

Potential lockout in the next decade?

[cincinnatikid513]

9 years wow

[cincinnatikid513]

how the taxes in ny

[Heltah Skeltah]

Yankees have an opt out after 5 years .
Cole will be nasty their especially wth that bullpen. Yanks rotation looks very good now wth Cole slotted in as the ace

[sourtwist]

how the taxes in ny

Fukkin terrible

[cjwatsonfan32]

Between Stanton and Cole, I feel like the yankees have to win at least two world series, with them, to feel like it was worth the money they are throwing at them.

[slayer14]

1 world series win in the last 19 years is pathetic really for a huge brand team like the yankees.

[MrSink]

Gregorius out for 1y right ?

[shocka1212]

Gregorius out for 1y right ?

yea I think 14 million.

[shocka1212]

yea thats a lot of money......these rarely work out.

[cincinnatikid513]

yea thats a lot of money......these rarely work out.

yah all those long bad contracts out there i think trout will be the only one who works out

[jjgold]

yea thats a lot of money......these rarely work out.

Rarely is an understatement, the Yankee biggest issue is Judge and Stanton too easy strike outs daily back to back

Rally killers but pitching can offset that of course

i think yanks should move stanton they dont' need him, need more guys who can put the ball in play

Stanton won't be on the Roster much longer. Judge will because he puts asses in the seats and sells merchandise. Wouldn't be surprised if they move on from Gary Sanchez and sign a big bat. Tired of seeing him whiff on everything in the playoffs. pads his stats against the Orioles in July which is pointless in my opinion.

Cinci...... Bayern over 3.5 today.

[jjgold]

True about Judge sells lots of tickets, etc

He needs to put ball in play more though

[cincinnatikid513]

Cinci...... Bayern over 3.5 today.

idk nothing big today for me w soccer both bayern and totts have moved on to next round so basically an exhibition match today expect alot of resting big name players man city could be resting juventus resting real madrid resting

[pologq]

i am a yankee fan and like getting cole but not for 9 years. would rather have gotten him for like 200 for 5 years (overpay for shorter term) but i am sure cole wanted security.

we have too many hitters that do not hit for average. hard to manufacture runs that way in the playoffs.
