Let the bidding war begin!
According to Bob Klapisch of the New York Times, the Yankees have already made their first official offer to Gerrit Cole. The offer is a seven-year, $245 million deal, far surpassing David Price’s previous record contract of seven years and $211 million.
I'm told #Yankees have a seven-year, $245 million offer on the table for Gerrit Cole. Would be a record-setting contract for a pitcher, surpassing Greinke’s $34.4 million AAV. Question is whether #Dodgers or #Angels will go to 8-9 or even 10 years.
