No one had heard a peep.
Unfortunately, he was dead on.
A few hours later Morosi broke the news that something was wrong.

Now last year Cole went through this song and dance during spring training as he dodged a massive bullet.
This feels different, especially when you hear from Cole today.
I don’t see how the Yankees recover from losing Gerrit Cole.

Now you’re losing Luis Gil for at least three months and Cole potentially for the entire season.
Now you’re taking out the work horse and leaving the rest to fend for themselves.
Will Warren will have a huge opportunity to step up here.

Losing top pitching prospect Chase Hampton for the year earlier in spring really fucking hurts now.
The Cole news is a massive bummer.
Just think back to his weird opt out situation this past offseason.
It was in fact a ticking time bomb and now it’s gone off.
Panic alarms are all I hear right now and they’re just getting louder.
March 8th and I can’t be excited about my baseball team.
Someone pass the bleach.
