Gerrit Cole signs with the Yankees (9 years, $324 million)

[ten ocho recon scout]

Bummed, but not really. Seemed too good to be true anyway.

 

[failos]

I knew this would happen just like Kawhi. Fuck you Cole

[robblin17]

God. Fuck the Yankees. Hate that bitch ass franchise.  

[failos]

No Strasburg and no Cole. Fuck you Cole

[aznhockeyguy]

Wow, good for Cole. 

[Bronson]

Fuck it. Let's get Trout his protection and Ryu.

[WeaverFever]

I’m meh at not getting him. However, what is up with that Cozart deal? What’s the extra money for?

Getting multiple $20m+ guys. 

[Bronson]

Now we FUCKING NEED Rendon. 

[tdawg87]

Incoming 20 pages of convincing ourselves we should be happy we didn't pay him that contract.

[Erstad Grit]

Hope we drove up the hell out of that contract on them.

Now get Rendon, Ryu, and Madbum for less

[failos]

So Eppler was outbid...I say fire his ass

Looks like that Reddit dude was spot on.

Which f*cking SUCKS because he also said Price and Ryu.

Neither of these two can stay healthy. Why in the hell anyone would want to anywhere near Ryu blows my mind 

[m0nkey]

Guess his wife didn't like Newport that much

[robblin17]

Would love to hear our offer. Probably 8/288. 

[Claude]

Before I self ban I think it’s a really stupid contract that the Yankees will like at first but hate later on. I commend Arte and Eppler for trying but glad they didn’t do this. They have plenty of other ways to improve the team and I think they will. Merry Christmas you filthy animals. 

[nando714]

Yeah hard pass

Nope.

The Angels f’d up once again. Now what follows next may be the real kicker. 

Lose out on Cole only to sign Ryu and trade for Price? Another AL West 4th place finish incoming 

[UndertheHalo]

Sigh.  Mega fucked vibes guys.  It’s a ridiculous contract but the Angels needed him.  We’ll see what they figure out.  Huge. Fucking. Bummer.

You're one of the best posters here but cmon man. That's just dumb money. Time to swoop in. Rendon +Ryu+Madbum > Cole at less money

[Lhalo]

Too much money IMO.

Bye, I’ll miss our friendly chats.  See you next year.  Don’t pull an AO and come back early.  How long are you gone?  Was it one year or two?

[GrittyVeterans]

It’s too bad we aren’t going to be a legit contender for another year of Trout’s prime. That was the piece we needed and it just went to a competitor

I'm happy we didn't pay him that contract.
