Cole and Donaldson became teammates

Cole and Donaldson became teammates Sunday night when the Yankees pulled off a blockbuster trade, sending Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela to the Twins for Donaldson, shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and catcher Ben Rortvedt. 

The deals of rough edges

The deal comes with some rough edges that might need smoothing over after Donaldson called out Cole last June for the use of illegal substances on the mound.

What Donaldson said on this

"Not up to me to judge,” 

 

Donaldson added

 

“That’s him and his camp. Time is going to tell what happens. I’m not in his position, so I don’t have to wear whether I can sleep at night.”
