YANKEES ADD A.J. COLE FROM THE NATIONALS FOR PITCHING DEPTH
The New York Yankees acquired pitcher A.J. Cole from the Washington Nationals for cash.
What does it give the New York Yankees
Cole was once a highly-touted pitching prospect but he has fallen on hard times lately. New York hopes to revive his career, though he will start out as a long man out of the bullpen.
What does it give the Washington Nationals
The Nationals recently designated Cole for assignment, so they were at least able to get some cash back from the Yankees in return. Cole's fall from grace was rapid.
Fantasy impact
Only 26 years old, Cole has a chance for resurrection with the Bronx Bombers. He has some dark horse appeal but should not be picked up in any leagues yet. Take a wait-and-see approach with Cole.
