A day after completing a $245 million, seven-year contract for Stephen Strasburg with Washington that set a record for pitchers, Boras said Cole will command even more.
Strasburg set a record for total dollars and average salary for pitchers. Citing that Cole is two years younger than the 31-year-old Strasburg and has been more durable, Boras said seeking a higher amount “would be a logical path to take.“
“There have been numerous offers made by clubs, and so we’re actively in the middle of it,“ Boras said Tuesday, surrounded by a swarm of media in the hotel lobby at the winter meetings.
