Gerrit Cole: Half The League Doesn\'t Care About Winning

Gerrit Cole believes too many Major League teams are tanking this season.
Cole argued that people who buy tickets should see the best product on the field possible.
\"It\'s just disappointing to see. You\'re coming to major-league games to see the best players, and at least 50% of the league doesn\'t give a (expletive) about winning or having their best players on the field,\" Cole said. \"What are we doing? What are we doing? Come on.\"
Rob Manfred countered Cole\'s comments by pointing out that 20 teams are within five games of the playoffs.
