I dont think Cole is as good as he's been hype up as to me he's more of a real good #2 but he obviously makes a real god staff even better

Surprised the Yankees didn't pull the trigger they need young frontline starters more then Houston

There are durability concerns with Brad Peacock but I’d roll the dice with him than give up prospects for Gerrit Cole.

The Astros have some concerns at SP with Verlander’s age and perhaps McCullers’ elbow but there are other pitchers I would target over Cole.

Off season so wakk when a trade finally happens it immediately gets shut down by multiple reporters and a gm involved

2nd week of January, arbitration #’s are exchanged and team conventions are on deck and approximately 80 % of the free agents still haven’t been signed :martin:

I do think he's overrated but if they didn't have to give up Tucker or Whitley for Cole it would be a good deal

There's not many frontline guys on the market. Maybe Archer but you'd have to give up Tucker or Whitley for him

These guys are gonna end up getting 1 year deals.

When's the deadline where you can sign specific fa's without losing draft picks?
