Hal excited when Cole made the decision. He felt Gerrit would be a game changer for the Yankees and conveyed that to Scott. He is intelligent & his love for the Yankees came through in their conversations. One of the best signings for years - positivie for the Yankees.

Cole with Curry & Lorenz. His family kept the sign in his closet - parents brought in to NY., Always had high expectations and embraced them. Having Andy travel to Cali was a deal clincher - Andy gets nother "W" this one in November. wouldn't reveal the 'gift' to Luke until he speaks to Luke. Part of the Yankee 'gift' to him with the tablet was a Yankee cap which he wore for 3 days - born to be a Yankee

Randy Levine high praises - good investment No brainer with the FA potential in the next few years. This could get us over the top.

Aaron Boone impressed with the 4 1/2 hour meeting in Cali. - his ability to articulate his development & questions he asked. Watched the maturation process of a top pitcher controlling his emotions.

Matt Blake became a better coach with this addition. Pinnacle psoition coming to thre Yankees Vision & Culture. Will work all pieces - mechanics, analytics to get the best results for each pitcher. Opened communications with 40 man after being signed will visit them after Holidays.

Scott Borass asked about club house experience & Cole had asked. Andy had answered quesitons about pitching for both teams - and really brought it home for Gerrit. When Gerrit's goal wias to win championships - Cash said the organization will give him that opportunity every year. - History of father-son relationship centered around the Yankees.

Cash moving on to continue get this team for October. - make the best decisions - this was a deal to go all in special player. Watching waiver wire & trade possibilities. We're comfortable for OD but open to opportunities. Coverage & reinforcements for the infield led to not having to re-sign Didi. Higgy is back of catcher as of today - nice threatr against lefties. Still in touch with Dellin's agent but not sure.- 'very expensive' sign with laughter.

Per Michael Kay - this was winning PC - Yankees did all the right things - perfect fit for the Yankees. Gerrit was emotional putting on the jersey for the first time - - has the demeanor to handle NY pressutre.

Amazing coverage - if you didn't watch it I recommend the ENCORE presentations tonight at 9 or 10:30 - I'll be watching the 9 for sure
