Highly unlikely Cole was repped by Scott Boras while he was in or had just graduated from high school. Where's the attribution? If he were represented by a sports agent he would not have been allowed to play college ball. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.92.34 (talk) 18:39, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a grey area thing, but agents "advise" amateur players. It skirts the edges of the amateur rules to be sure. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:11, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

citation #7 not relevant

The citation stating Cole did not even negotiate with the Yankees leads to a page that does not even state Gerrit Cole. This should be removed until an actual citation can be provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.138.36 (talk) 02:51, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gerrit cole is no longer a free agent. He just signed with the New York Yankees with a 9 year contract worth 324 million.https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28271369/sources-yankees-gerrit-cole-agree-record-9-year-324m-deal it is misleading to think he is still a free agent when in fact he is not. Please change "free agent" to "New York Yankees" Jarmusic2 (talk) 12:42, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Phil roc (c) 13:08, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jarmusic2, "... sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan." What "sources"? How do we know they aren't wrong? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:22, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

the whole world knows that he is a New york Yankee except you. Good day sir. keep living in the past. when the ban on the page is lifted someone will fix it so that his current team "The New York Yankees" is listed under teams instead of being a free agent.Jarmusic2 (talk) 02:28, 13 December 2019 (UTC)jarmusic2Jarmusic2 (talk) 02:28, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jarmusic2, funny, the MLB.com page showing the 40 man roster doesn't list Cole. An oversight? Otherwise how would he not be on that list? – Muboshgu (talk) 02:47, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

well then He is still a free Agent. Maybe He will Land a Job in San Diego. We really could use him here. I must have been wrong. thank you sir for correcting me. There still is hope #ColetoSD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarmusic2 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 13 December 2019 (UTC) I found the source you are looking for. According to Espn under "Free Agent's" He is listed as being signed to the Yankees. When you click on his name it is confirmed he is a Yankee http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32081/gerrit-cole Plese unlock or update his Page to Reflect his new team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarmusic2 (talk • contribs) 03:34, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please Change a"free agent" to b"New York Yankees" under "Team" ESPN.com Has him Listed as a Yankee. http://www.espn.com/mlb/freeagents If that is not a reliable source then you are misinformed ESPN is reliable.

As much as I would love to change his free agency status to say that he is a member of the New York Yankees, the team hasn't announced it and he still has to clear medicals. This however may seem largely ceremonial. Patience. 68.175.18.4 (talk) 04:25, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He is No Longer a Free agent. If that were the Case the San Diego Padres could sign him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarmusic2 (talk • contribs) 12:49, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(talk), Please Change x"Free Agent" to y "New York Yankee". He is no longer a Free agent, If that were the case the San Diego Padres could sign him. HE IS A NEW YORK YANKEE. IF YOU GO TO ESPN.COM HE IS LISTED AS A YANKEE. HIS PICTURE HAS HIM IN A NEW YORK YANKEE UNIFORM http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32081/gerrit-cole ^[1] Jarmusic2 (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2019 (UTC)jarmusic2Jarmusic2 (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Again we need to wait for the official announcement. ESPN is not owned by the MLB themselves in any way. Plus you didn't have to go on my talk page to post a message when you can simply talk to me here. TheBigMan720 (talk) 22:51, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jarmusic2, ESPN is a news organization. Wikipedia is not. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:14, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Plus why have the other teams announce their recent transactions or free agent signings but not the Yankees? TheBigMan720 (talk) 23:26, 15 December 2019 (UTC) If you guys want to live In the Past BE my Guest. I hope the deal falls through and He ends up signing with the San Diego Padres, then everyone in the whole world will look foolish except you two guys because you stuck to your guns. good day Jarmusic2 (talk) 23:49, 15 December 2019 (UTC)jarmusic2Jarmusic2 (talk) 23:49, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jarmusic2, I live in the present, when there are reports of an agreement, but no official announcement has been made. This is all that we can verify. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:19, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

well once the announcement has been made official. Please revert my last edit since it will be correct. He is and currently is and will be for a few years a New York Yankee. Thank you and have a great day. you in fact are right that there is no official announcement. what if there is not a official announcement and he ends up playing a spring training game? will wikepedia still list him as a "Free Agent?" Jarmusic2 (talk) 01:10, 16 December 2019 (UTC)jarmusic2Jarmusic2 (talk) 01:10, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then why did you go ahead and keep constantly putting in he’s on the Yankees when you knew there is no official announcement? TheBigMan720 (talk) 01:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

^[1] Because He Is a New York Yankees. His bio on Espn.com has him Listed as a New York Yankees. There is not always an official announcement, But I hope if and when there is an announcement you fix this otrosity and change his status from Free Agent to His current team THE NEW YORK YANKEES.

But he is not a Yankee until something is announced. Players can back out of a deal at any time. We've seen this before with coaches and players. There needs to be an official announcement from the team from their social media pages or website. TheBigMan720 (talk) 07:13, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He is a free agent as of right now still until something is announced by the Yankees themselves. There is no hold up at all. Also again ESPN is not a reliable source. TheBigMan720 (talk) 07:11, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That would be like nike.com not being a valid source for shoes. or for amazon.com to be a valid source for online shopping. ESPN IS THE TOP SPORTS WEBSITE AND IS 100% ACCURATE they are Sports 24/7 so to say that they are an unreliable source is just plain ridiculous. It would be like saying Wikipedia is not a real encyclopedia.. or saying that Donald trump is not a politician. So Would MLB.com be a reliable source? how about the Yankees themselves? does that count as a reliable source? ^[4] from The Yankees themselves. Please FIX GERRIT COLE AS HE IS A NEW YORK YANKEE AND NOT A FREE AGENT ANYMORE[reply]

New York Yankees

Gerrit Cole Recently Signed a 9 year Deal with the New York Yankees. ^[5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarmusic2 (talk • contribs) 09:46, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gerrit Cole Is A NEW YORK YANKEE

Please change x "Free Agent" to y"New York Yankee" because he has signed a 9 year deal with them. ESPN lists them as A New York Yankee. He is part of the team. The whole world knows this FACT except Wikipedia with its old and outdated information.... Several players have been signed who are still listed as a "Free Agent" and this on is a big one. HE IS NO LONGER A FREE AGENT. THAT IS A FACT OF LIFE. DONALD TRUMP OUR PRESIDENT KNOWS THIS. THE WHOLE BASEBALL WORLD KNOWS THIS EXCEPT... (GUSS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY) WIKIPEDIA Jarmusic2 (talk) 17:18, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jarmusic2, don't you have anything better to do? Another reason not mentioned previously to not make this change yet is that the Yankees have a full 40-man roster and cannot add Cole to it without subtracting someone else. They may be working to make a small trade today. Anyway, the Internet tells me an introductory press conference for Cole is set for noon tomorrow. If they announce his signing sooner than that, we can change it sooner than that. Figure that's the latest time possible for them to announce the transaction officially. Which includes subtracting someone from the 40-man roster. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:50, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

in the worlds eyes He is a New York Yankee. But at last, I am a queen and You are a knite and I am in check mate. If there is no room on the 40 man roster then We shall wait. In my personal opinion I think we should leave him as a "Free Agent" because you are right the deal could fall through. They could have signed him to make a trade somewhere else, But My current hope now is that He signed with the San Diego Padres instead. sorry for being so disruptive, I just have been going through a lot in life and was taking it out on everyone else. I was wrong in every way and Do apologize for my misbehaviour and my disruptive edits on this site. thank you for not banning me and have a great day.Muboshgu Jarmusic2 (talk) 22:52, 16 December 2019 (UTC)jarmusic2Jarmusic2 (talk) 22:52, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
