I kid, I kid. I'm actually glad that Gerrit Cole is coming back. He pitched very well in the playoffs and particularly the World Series...and is almost the only starting pitcher we can count on.
He and the Yanks have not yet agreed on his extension, but they have agreed that he will stay, and they can keep talking. So good.
What this means about Juan Soto...probably nothing good. But if they're going to re-sign and extend Cole, then signing Soto really makes all the more sense. If they're going to stick with the vets, they're going to want to contend.
"Contend" is not the same as "Win it all," but I'll still be glad if they want to contend because it's better than giving up, I suppose. This is something I must ponder.
