Gerrit Cole is 1000% going to be a Yankee.

Unlike last year, Reinsdorf doesn't a clear path to the prized FAs.

That may not ever happen again.

He is not getting in a bidding war with the Yankees.

He could but he won't.

The Reinsdorf group can compete with any team if they so desired.

They just want fans to believe they are unable.
