Yankees ace Cole to appear in surprising role Tuesday night originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Gerrit Cole won’t be taking the mound this season, but he will be taking the mic.

Gerrit Cole, a pivotal player for the New York Yankees, missed the regular season due to injury. However, while in recovery, Cole has unveiled a new endeavor as he awaits his return to the field.

A New York Yankees trade idea has them acquiring a Gerrit Cole replacement in Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta.

If Carlos Rodon continues to pitch like this, then the Yankees have a chance to end their World Series drought.

"In a blockbuster deal for Peralta, the Brewers would likely target somebody like George Lombard Jr., one of the higher potential players in New York's farm system. But the Yankees have been adamant they weren't looking to trade Lombard this season, so that might be quite a difficult catchup in this kind of deal."

When manager Aaron Boone called Luke Weaver’s injury “definitely a blow,” he quickly added it was one the team could “handle and withstand.” This is the confident front every manager presents.
