 final thoughts Jack my take away from Garrett Cole and meeting him is that I'm gonna put on my my producer's cap right the future Yankees geography Garrett Cole only on yes by the way it's gonna start with him is that 11 year old holding that sign midway through it'll be him signing with the Yankees and holding that sign up at his press conference which was a great moment his first Yankee moment if you will and it'll wrap up with him in a pile of guys celebrating what one two three championships I think there are a lot of Yankee fans watching us right now who are saying yes make Bob Lorenzo producer because that's exactly what they want to see happen you're calling it a sign for the purposes of my final point I'm going to call it a banner because today was a banner day for the Yankees from Cole taking out that banner that sign and showing how much he wanted to be a Yankee from the time he was a kid to this point Bob him talking about not just winning World Series title number 28 or 29 he said let's take it to 30 so he's talking about in a nine-year marriage with the Yankees he's hoping for multiple championships for that to happen Garrett Cole has to be the picture that he was last year for the Houston Astros he has to continue to dominate the Yankees believe that he can now as of today the sky is the limit for Derek Cole on the Yankees let's get it over to Meredith and Michael for their final thoughts guys well thanks a lot guys I'll tell you what I've been at a lot of these press conferences and if you could get a win from a press conference the Yankees got one and Garrett Cole got one he was so impressive in everything he did you guys already spoken about the sign but the thing that stood out to me that he took the time to mention Marvin Miller and Kurt Flood so he has a great appreciation of those that have come before him obviously knows the Yankee organization very well their history as well and the Yankees did all the right things sure they had to pay him a lot of money but this is a perfect signing for them this could be the thing that puts them over the top I thought he handled himself with grace and elegance and boy if the Yankees could have scripted this any better I don't know how they could have he couldn't have done a better job up there and I go back to something that Brian Cashman said he was actually getting a little bit emotional when he was finally able to put that jersey on this certainly means something to him wearing pinstripes and playing in the Bronx means something to him and his family and you look at the fact nine years three hundred and twenty four million that's an awful large commitment but everyone in that Yankee's organization will tell you they believe in Garrett Cole the person he is the pitcher he is and they believe the best things are yet to come from him so it's going to be an interesting thing to see a lot of first coming about in spring training his first time going out there on the mound there's going to be a lot of attention on him but he seems like a guy that really relishes in that pressure in that attention I'll tell you what I don't think he's going to be flustered just from watching him today I think I'll handle the pressure of New York the spotlight of being on Broadway I think I'll handle it well I think you're right Michael and I think fans are extremely excited to see him take the mound with 45 on his back and be a member of this team they're now hoping it yields a couple of championships all starts in Tampa in the middle of February but today was a good start for the Yankees they get the number one starter on the market one of the best pitchers in baseball Garrett Cole a press conference here at the legends club at Yankee Stadium he handled it well if he handles the mound any better than this than the Yankees have signed themselves quite a gem
