Blue Jays' Alek Manoah calls Yankees ace ‘worst cheater’ in MLB history

There is no love lost between Alek Manoah and Gerrit Cole. 


The Toronto Blue Jays ace joined NBA star Serge Ibaka on the latest episode of Sportsnet's "How Hungry Are You? The Toronto Blue Jays ace answers the question on Sportsnet's "How Hungry Are You?" mini-feature. Before the pair enjoyed cricket tea and dish consisting of fish sperm, Ibaka asked Manoah who he thinks the worst cheater is baseball.  


"Gerrit Cole," Manoah uttered. "He used a lot of sticky stuff to make his pitches better, and he kinda got called out on it." The relationship between Manoah and Cole reached a boiling point in August, as things kicked off between the two All-Star pitchers after outfielder Aaron Judge was hit by an inside fastball. Nothing ever materialized, though, aside from some shouting back and forth. After the game, Manoah responded to Cole’s reaction by saying, “I think if Gerrit wants to do something, he can walk past the Audi sign next time," referring to the advertising just in front of the dugouts.  Baseball fans shouldn’t have to wait much longer for the right-hander's next showdown versus the New York Yankees, as the Blue Jays will visit the Bronx from Apr. 21-23. So, hopefully, everyone will be treated to a Manoah-Cole matchup.
