The Pittsburgh Pirates have two years of team control remaining on their top starter. Many teams are interested in acquiring starting pitching, per usual. However, what makes Cole attractive is that he will come with a relatively cheap price compared to other starters this off-season. The top starters on the market are Yu Darvish and Jake Arrieta. Both of them will receive contracts north of $100 million. Meanwhile, even a pitcher like Alex Cobb, a good pitcher, but more of a number three, will likely gain $12-14 million a year on his contract this off-season.
