The New York Yankees met with free agent pitcher Gerrit Cole this week, and many fans are wondering if the Yankees GM Brian Cashman is in a situation where he must overpay for Cole.
Astros GM Jeff Luhnow has made a lot of blockbuster moves over the last few years with his trades for Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, and Zack Greinke, which has caused many Yankee fans to be envious.
ESPN 97.5's Charlie Pallilo and Raheel Ramzanali discuss if the Yankees are in a position where they have to make a splashy move to keep up with the Astros. Quick Hits presented by Tight Ends Sports Bar & Grill.
Cristian Javier and Luis Garcia are back on the mound, but can they actually help the Houston Astros this season?
Javier made his first rehab start in the Florida Complex League (FCL), his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery, and the results weren’t promising.
He struck out two but gave up three runs and reported some elbow soreness afterward. He’s expected to use his full 30-day rehab window.
Meanwhile, Luis Garcia had a slightly better outing, striking out four in his own FCL appearance. But with the Astros dealing with a wave of long-term pitching injuries, fans are left wondering: Are these arms just rusty, or not ready at all?
Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break down both pitchers’ status, what their timelines look like, and whether Astros fans should have hope or concerns about their returns.
