Gerrit Cole is expected to remain with the New York Yankees.
"For now, it's like Cole is not opting out at all," the Major League's official website "MLB.com " said on Monday (Korea time). "One source told Mark Feinsand of "MLB.com " that Cole initially agreed to stay with the Yankees under the contract that he was opting out of. Both sides said they will continue to discuss potential extension options."
"The Yankees' right-hander Cole was opt-out on the 3rd. The club can cancel the opt-out by adding 36 million U.S. dollars for one year to the existing contract, and the decision should be made by 7 a.m. on the 5th," the media reported on the previous day.
Cole signed a nine-year, $324 million (about 445.5 billion won) contract with the Yankees after the end of the 2019 season. After consistently taking the mound as a starter after moving to the Yankees, he pitched in 33 games last year, marking 222 strikeouts with an ERA of 2.63 in 15 wins, 4 losses, 209 innings, and winning the American League Cy Young Award.
He wanted to continue his momentum this season, but suffered an elbow injury while preparing for this season, and he will not be able to take the mound in the big league until June. He has posted eight wins, five losses and an earned run average of 3.41 in 17 games this season. 먹튀검증
On the fall baseball stage this season, he left a record of 13 runs (seven earned runs) with 10 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.17 in 5 games, 1 win and 29 innings. He started Game 5 of the 2024 Major League Postseason World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Yankee Stadium in New York on the 31st of last month and recorded 5 runs (non-earned) in 6 ⅔ innings.
With the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the fifth inning, when the team was leading 5-0, he induced Mookie Betts to hit a ground ball in front of the first baseman and lost a point by not entering the base cover. After that, Freddie Freeman's two-run timely hit and Teoscar Hernandez's two-run double broke out, allowing the team to tie the game 5-5. The Yankees took the lead again by scoring one run in the bottom of the sixth inning, but allowed the Dodgers two runs in the top of the eighth inning to kneel down. They had to watch the Dodgers lift the trophy.
