As one of the top pitchers in the game, Cole can impact an entire free-agent class, as he did before he signed his nine-year, $324 million deal with the Yankees.
TAMPA — In some ways, the end of the 2024 season is a long way off, especially for Gerrit Cole, who has said he expects to lead the Yankees rotation for many years to come.
At that time, he’ll be just about the same age as Jacob deGrom is now — as deGrom will this season, Cole will turn 35. Asked about how his opt-out and deGrom’s contract might affect his future, Cole laughed and said he hadn’t connected the two. Gerrit Cole can opt out after this season, but he’s not considered it.Cole has had plenty of success in The Bronx and the Yankees have been pleased with his performance since he arrived as their ace — and they can nullify Cole’s opt-out by adding another year at $36 million to the end of the original contract.
Asked if he would “rule out” using the opt-out after 2024, Cole said, “It’s in there. Both sides agreed to it, so it’s in there.” Another strong season could change Cole’s thinking about a return to free agency.“I haven’t even put any thought into it or what [deGrom’s] deal does for the marketplace,” said Cole, who is scheduled to have one more Grapefruit League start before Opening Day.
