Monday is Christmas, and it's looking more and more likely that
John Henry and
Dave Dombrowski will be leaving coal in all of our 'Red Stockings'. Meantime, 250 miles to the south, fans of
The Evil Empire have already unwrapped
their big present—and another one may soon be on the way in the form of starting pitcher
Gerrit Cole. While recent reports have suggested a "cooling" in the talks between Pittsburgh and the Bronx—that's just when
Brian Cashman gets
started. The
Stealth GM of the
Pinstriped Posers has made a living of swooping in and making deals when you least expect it. Oh sure, there's
talk that we still might get
J.D. Martinez—but there's also Dombrowski's
"we're OK just the way we are" comments. So, it very well could be:
coal for us and
Cole for them.
Bad Santa, no cookies and milk for you!
