 Guys, Hal Steinbrenner is sitting with us. I got to tell you, I was blown away by the press conference. It seemed like Garrett Cole came from central casting to be a Yankee. He said, all the right things. As you're sitting there, are you thinking, wow, we made a great decision? Well, we knew that earlier. I didn't know he had the sign. That's amazing that he kept that all those years. But it proves he is who he says he was, lifelong Yankee fan. And you can just tell he's proud to be here. Hal, what was your initial reaction when you heard that Cole had made a decision and the Yankees were it? Obviously excited. A lot of people worked hard on this for a good number of days. And I think everyone involved on our side conveyed a lot of good messages about our organization, about our culture. And I think it resonated with him. Hal, from everything that I've heard, you were intimately involved in negotiating with Scott Boris. Why was this so important to you? And why did you get intimately involved? Well, look, I think my message to the Coles and to Scott was fairly simple. Unlike other top pre-agents in years past, I really felt that Garrett would be a game changer for us for a number of reasons, which I conveyed. And because of that, I wanted them to know that we were going to be extremely committed to getting this done, to doing what we can. And we were going to be competitive. Was there ever a point throughout the negotiation process where you thought this might not end up like this, that he might go somewhere else? Well, there always is, as you know. This one was no different. He's an incredible talent. And obviously, there was more than one player. Now, the free age of market the last couple of years, there have been players that Yankee fans said, well, why don't the Yankees go for them? Why don't they go for this guy? This is the guy you went to. Why not the other guys? And what made him different, Hal? Well, again, I truly believe that Garrett's going to be a game changer for us. He's a starting pitcher. You know my take on starting pitching, how important it is. Obviously, he's incredibly talented. And his makeup is off the chart. He's very intelligent, very tough. His work ethic is impeccable. And he's 29 years old. I mean, you put all that together, and that's a guy that can really make a difference. Hal, you talked about some of the conversations you had with him. What stood out to you the most? Look, I think his love for the Yankees, his lifelong love for the Yankees, and his intelligence. I mean, you don't really know till you get to know somebody how intelligent they are or on. He's an unbelievably intelligent guy. And I think the questions he asked in that four and a half hour meeting, which I could not be at, unfortunately. But obviously, I got the rundown. A lot of intelligent questions about analytics. And you can tell his work ethic is very strong. Hal, bottom line, it's a lot of money. And you and your family who wants to have to write the check, is that a difficult check to write? Well, it is a lot of money. But remember, this isn't just for 2020. This is going to be one of the best aces in baseball. We're going to have for a good number of years. And I think it's going to bring us some world championships. That's the hope, always. In your mind, how much better is this team now that Garrett Cole is a part of it? It's considerably better. There's no doubt about it. Look, we've got a very good rotation, as I've said before. But this is one of the top pitchers, maybe the top pitcher in all of baseball. And when you put them on the front end of the rotation for a number of years like this, things can happen, positive things. Happy holiday to you and your family. You too, likewise. That's how it started.
