The New York Yankees got their ace. Gerrit Cole is now a New York Yankee. The Bronx Bombers are now the favorites to at least win the pennant next year. The biggest losers are the Los Angeles Angels, who failed to get starting pitching help that they needed yet again. I’m personally glad because I’ve been predicting this signing and the Angels not getting an ace since the offseason started on Twitter. I knew that geography wouldn’t play a factor and despite Cole himself saying it, it was still used as a reason why he would sign with the Angels. Houston lost eith this signing too as not only did they lose their best pitcher, but their current top starters are headed for a decline in the near future.
