You pay for the arm, sure. You damn sure pay for the fastball, which ticked to 99 a couple of times, and for the filthy breaking stuff, and for the swagger he carries himself with. You pay for the poise Gerrit Cole provides every time he steps on the mound, and for the fact by …

Gerrit Cole did his part to slow down the Rays’ dominance of the Yankees during this mini season, but it wasn’t enough to overcome very little support from the lineup and a costly error by Zack Britton. “Whether it is the Rays right now or anyone else any time it is Gerrit’s day that is …

Gerrit Cole was good but not overpowering in his initial game wearing Yankee pinstripes. For the first time in six games Aaron Judge didn’t hit a ball into a sea of empty seats. Yet, Cole had enough to limit the Phillies to a run in six innings and Gio Urshela, DJ LeMahieu and Brett Gardner …
