One of the advantages of profiling a current Yankee is that I can be a little more concise with certain aspects of his biography, and instead delve deep into just what kind of a pitcher Gerrit Cole is.
Cashman tried three separate times to land Cole, first as a first-round pick out of high school only for the then-UCLA commit to don the Bruins' jersey. The better part of a decade later, with Cole on the trade market, Cashman was unwilling to part with a package of prospects and saw the righty put up some of the best pitching performances of this generation with the rival Astros.
