Gerrit Cole completed his mega-money move to the New York Yankees earlier this month and it seems like the superstar has already made himself at home. Gerrit Cole is finding it easy to find his space in New York as he was seen enjoying his days in the Big Apple. The 29-year-old was recently clicked by his wife, Amy Crawford, in which the star can be seen behind a copy of The Post's Tuesday back page with a lyric of Frank Sinatra's hit song "New York, New York" captioned in the background. That's some New York vibes for you.
MLB: Gerrit Cole is a New York Yankee now
Gerrit Cole joined the New York Yankees for a whopping sum of $324 million in a 9-year deal and the star recently made his first public appearance. Cole was immediately asked about the New York Yankees' famous 'No Beard' policy to which the pitcher seemed to have made amends with. Gerrit Cole has convinced himself that he will have come to terms with the fact he will have to let his beard go but he also used the words "that's nuts" and "unfortunately".
On Tuesday, Gerrit Cole signed a contract with the Yankees worth $324 million.

That's just $1M less than the $325 million the City of Anaheim agreed to sell Angel Stadium and the 133 acres of surrounding land for last week 😳 #SCFacts
