During a recent game against the Mets, Yankees' Cody Bellinger hit a grand slam, symbolizing the team's evolving dynamics. Gerrit Cole reflected on the acquisition of pitcher Max Fried, who was initially viewed as a backup option following the missed opportunity with Juan Soto. Cole's perspective favors the notion of having multiple top-tier players, indicating a strong belief in Fried's capabilities and the Yankees' strategic pivot to bolster their roster effectively without undermining the talents they secured.
"Well, what if we had two Plan As? I just don't want to say he's a Plan B. That's my guy." - Gerrit Cole, showing his confidence in Max Fried despite missing out on Juan Soto.
"Pivot seemed to be a slightly kinder way to describe what the Yankees did. Decisive pivot, like, yes." - Gerrit Cole, emphasizing the strategy employed by the Yankees in their player acquisitions.
