Star pitcher Gerrit Cole is heading to New York next year after two seasons with the Houston Astros. The free agent agreed to a nine-year, $324 million contract with the Yankees. In 2019, he was the runner-up behind teammate Justin Verlander for the American League Cy Young Award, and he ended the regular season with an impressive 20-5 record and 2.50 ERA. He also broke an Astros record with 326 strikeouts. Cole was actually drafted by the Yankees straight out of high school, but ended up playing college baseball for UCLA instead. Now, he\u2019ll finally be on his childhood favorite team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
