While Brian Cashman was descending the outside of a 22-story building Friday, the Yankees’ general manager came across a message taped to a 10th-floor window from a fan: Please sign Gerrit Cole.
Cashman, whose rappelling adventure has become a holiday tradition, confirmed he met with Cole in California on Tuesday and spoke with free-agent pitcher Stephen Strasburg the following day.
Every year, Cashman participates in the annual Rappelling Santa show in Stamford, and he was descending the 23-story Landmark Building on Friday for his practice run.
Even in that scenario, though, he can’t escape the Gerrit Cole speculation.

Cole and Strasburg are the top pitchers on the free-agent market.
The Yankees would like to add an ace to a rotation that already includes Luis Severino, Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton and J.A. Happ.
