Right here is one thing that has been floating in my head for some time now:
Who do you suppose is the higher guess over the following 4-5 years: Gerrit Cole or Blake Snell?
I’ve been mulling it for a couple of months. As a result of if the Yankees had agreed so as to add a tenth yr to his contract after final season to maintain the righty from opting out, Cole would have had 5 years at $180 million remaining — or mainly what the Dodgers agreed to final December with Snell (5 years, $182 million).
In different phrases, the Dodgers gave Snell what the Yankees wouldn’t give Cole.
