Gerrit Cole did not appear to appreciate being asked about the Yankees firing their hitting coach.
But the Yankees did not have a hitter at the event to question — the injured Aaron Judge did not make the trip — which was symbolic.
“Brian [Cashman] made the move that he made,” Cole said Tuesday before starting the exhibition for the American League at T-Mobile Field. “Probably took a lot of thought, and it’s the only time that he’s done that I think in his career as general manager.”Gerrit Cole will start the All-Star Game for the American League on Tuesday night.But the Yankees have the second-worst batting average , the fifth-worst on-base percentage and have scored the 12th-fewest runs in baseball.
“He put a lot of time in,” Cole said. “He was grinding very hard; was always a big advocate for his players, whether hitters or pitchers. He was a good team guy. “We’ve figured out how to win in different ways,” Cole said of the Yankees, who sit at 49-42 and a game out of a wild-card spot. “Certainly, we played a lot of small-ball.
