Gerrit Cole's Yankees Introductory Press Conference Will Reportedly Be 'Wednesday at Earliest'
Are the Yankees giving Cole some time to mourn the inevitable loss of his hair and beard? He'll be trimming everything before he's allowed to don a No. 45 Yankee uniform, as per tradition.
More realistically, the Yankees are probably trying to figure out how to clear two more roster spots in order to fit Cole and Brett Gardner on their 40-man roster. It remains to be seen whether they'll option some fringe-level players down to the minors, or if they'll be able to make a trade and offload some contracts before Wednesday.
