Yankees meet with top target Gerrit Cole in SoCal today. They are all in. But
having been rebuffed after drafting him and offering basically a blank check
(he went to UCLA instead), they are very concerned he may prefer Angels and
Dodgers. NYY will meet w/Strasburg tomorrow.

The Post has learned that Cashman, Aaron Boone and new pitching coach Matt
Blake were among the group expected to meet Tuesday with Cole and his wife,
Amy, whose brother is Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford. The plan was to get
together with Strasburg on Wednesday. And this year the price tag did not
scare the Yankees from taking to the road because they know Cole will receive
the largest pitching contract ever, likely topping $250 million.
