It’s likely that starting pitcher Gerrit Cole will sign with a team this week, and hopefully it will be the New York Yankees.
From what we’re hearing, teams are submitting offers to Cole and his camp. We have some leaked information about what the Yankees offer will be; around seven years for $245 million.
Experts originally thought that was the exact offer, but later found out that the Yankees are still finalizing the offer. Other teams likely to submit an offer include the Astros, Phillies, Rangers, Angels, and the Dodgers.
If the Yankees keep the offer around seven years, $245 million, it would be a record for a per-year salary in the MLB.
