Any chance we can, uh, move that up a day? Or maybe even just start the live feed on Cole&#8217;s reaction right now and let it rip?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Red Sox stunned the baseball world on Sunday by capping off a long-simmering feud with Rafael Devers we all\u00a0<em>thought<\/em>\u00a0had gone dormant.\u00a0Boston traded Devers to the San Francisco Giants\u00a0for two struggling starters and SF&#8217;s No. 4 prospect, yet another outfielder. The\u00a0Sox swept the Yankees earlier\u00a0on Sunday, which\u00a0<em>suddenly<\/em>\u00a0feels like the least important thing to ever happen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Cole, who&#8217;s had a little well-publicized trouble with Devers over the years, might have gotten a little pep in his step during a bright spot in what&#8217;s otherwise been a very tough year for the righty. Now, he can hoist those dreaded four fingers up in the air and whistle Devers all the way on over to the west coast.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">And, for some additional commentary on the deal, the\u00a0Yankees&#8217; broadcast booth can turn to &#8230; Cole, who&#8217;s going to spend &#8220;significant time&#8221; on Tuesday night&#8217;s telecast.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1934313877132763315&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fyanksgoyard.com%2Fgerrit-cole-yankees-broadcast-debut-just-got-electric-after-rafael-devers-trade&amp;sessionId=ef64db7f712838c9cbcee279e5a5d1c23794f904&amp;siteScreenName=YanksGoYardFS&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1934313877132763315\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Yankees&#8217; Gerrit Cole to spend &#8216;significant&#8217; time in YES Network booth during broadcast vs. Angels Tuesday<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Who wants to bet that amount of time just got a little more significant?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Cole&#8217;s a one-of-a-kind pitching savant with a mind for mentorship, and he&#8217;s spent the majority of his rehab with the team, taking pitchers like Will Warren, Clarke Schmidt, and even Max Fried into his corner. The Yankees probably had designs on getting Cole to open up on what makes the current staff tick and how they&#8217;ve picked up without him. Now, they can probably get him to chirp his own cover of, &#8220;Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead&#8221; for 25 full minutes, spanning the top of the third through the middle of the fifth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">If you weren&#8217;t already planning on listening to Cole wax poetic about his teammates and the Yankees&#8217; unexpected run, this just made the game appointment viewing. Paul O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s probably going to have some pretty special stuff to say, too. You just\u00a0<em>know<\/em> he still despises the Sox like it&#8217;s 1999.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any chance we can move this up a day?
