“Now we have a very good setup in California and good communication,” Cole mentioned in August. “I can add my throwing program to the [internal] platform and just about speak on daily basis. There’s not an entire lot of urgency to get [to Tampa] instantly.”
Yankees common supervisor Brian Cashman mentioned lately that the membership doesn’t anticipate Cole, who turns 36 throughout the upcoming season, to be prepared for Opening Day.
