Don’t know how much I would trust past performance coming from the Astro’s organization, but NY is ready to win.

9 years, wow.

9 years, wow.

Giving a pitcher a contract longer than five years is as big of a no-no in baseball as bunting with two strikes. I'm sure the Yankees won't regret this at some point.

If anyone can handle a few years of a bad contract it is the Yankees. Hell they have been paying elaborate 24 million per year to not cone to the ballpark

As a side note, just Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton are #25 payroll inn MLB. They will make more than the Brewers, Pirates, Blue Jays, Rays, Orioles, and Marlins. Cole alone is more than the Marlins.

Cole will probably get more wins than Marlins. So, there's that.

Yep, they were that desperate, this decade was the first in 100 years in which they didn’t make at least one WS appearance. Still 9 years is asinine.

That's crazy. But they had to do that as the Dodgers offered $300 million for 8 years
