Gerrit Cole Trade Talks Between Pirates and Yankees Have Cooled

Published:

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the trade talks between the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees for Gerrit Cole have cooled off since the winter meetings ended last Thursday.

There have been a lot of reports about possible players involved in this potential deal, including the Pirates trying to get Gleyber Torres, the top prospect from the Yankees and one of the top prospects in baseball. The potential trade seemed to heat up over the weekend, but it’s been relatively quiet since then. I wouldn’t say that this Rosenthal news means that a trade is dead, but it doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon. If there are any other updates today, we will post them here.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
