Although they didn’t spend much time together as teammates with the New York Yankees, everything seems to indicate that the rookie pitchers Gerrit Cole and Masahiro Tanaka have created a very strong friendship.
Before Tanaka returned to Japan, his homeland, Gerrit Cole and his wife invited the Japanese man and his wife to a sushi restaurant. Through a video on social media, Cole assured that Masahiro “proved to be a good friend” and took the opportunity to say that he would like to have him back as a teammate in the Bronx, despite the fact that it actually seems complicated for this to happen.
Colo and Tanaka served as 1-2 in manager Aaron Boone’s rotation in 2020. Despite a difficult start for the Oriental, at the end of the campaign he managed to rebuild the course and complete it in a dignified manner, perhaps in what was his last seven-year contract with the New York club.
Both Serpentineros are ardent lovers of sushi and Japanese food in general, so they were careful to experience a probable last time for couples before the end of the year, as they are aware that in the future they may not see it as often as in the last months.
