10 Funniest Tweets After Yankees Dropped a Brinks Truck on Gerrit Cole

By Mark Powell

The Evil Empire is back, and the Yankees did anything and everything in their power to sign Gerrit Cole, who was priority No. 1 in free agency this offseason.

The Yankees do not take losing well, and a decade of not reaching their ultimate goal is, quite frankly, not good enough in the Bronx. With the permission of ownership, Brian Cashman went to the Winter Meetings and got their man.

As it turns out, "by any means necessary" is indicative of a whole bunch of cash, which is now all rightfully Cole's.

Looks about right, though that razor burn is a tough look.

The Angels definition of all-in needs revising, I think.

Yep, that was essentially our reaction.

Did the Yankees even clear payroll? Cashman has no idea what the "luxury tax" is.

Nothing wrong with sleeping on piles of money.

Buy them now, if possible, while the rest of New York is (hopefully) asleep.

In Bob's biggest Tweet of the offseason, he double @'d. Rough break.

None of us can believe it.

All Stephen Strasburg did was set the market for Cole to obliterate his record deal in a matter of days.

You're damn right, and we'll watch every one of them.
