Re: Official 2019 Yankees Thread II
We got our guy but holy cow that's alot of money. I hope he can keep it up for at least 7 years of that contract.
We need at least one more starter IMO.

It also helps that with the signing, it weakens the rotation of the team that's eliminated the Yankees the last two times in the playoffs.

Exactly, this roster is win now and Cole helps us the most out of anyone out there. A few years from now this contract might not seem as big as it does now with how big contracts are trending in baseball.

Don't ever say Hal is a cheap bastard ever again. 
He just outbid the Angels desperate asses and any other desperate team in the hunt.
When we want our guy, we get him.

Re: Official 2019 Yankees Thread II
Big time move by Yankees.
1 or 2 years too long but who cares.. classic Steinbrenner signing.
Strasburg is 31 and got 7 years so they will be 38 at end of each contract.
Verlander just won CY award at age 36 so, lets just hope Cole ages like Verlander.

NOT signing Machado or Harper last year was obviously very smart. Many didn't like it at all but I think Cashman was playing the long game. Great signing!
Cole
Sevvy
Paxton
Tanaka
German
Montgomery
And maybe Happ?
Not sure we need anything right now... strong farm system. Just hope we can STAY HEALTHY

Excellent news. Wonder what made Hal finally relent? Cash must have really convinced him this is what we need to win World Series.

Hopefully we can trade Happ if not we can live with him as our 5th starter, gotta be smart in managing innings from our starters, wanna be at a point where they can throw 100 plus pitches for 6-7 innings every start even just 6 innings makes a huge difference for the pen. You got Clark Schmidt and Deivi Garcia in AAA too.
