Gerrit Cole is in the seventh season of a 9-year, $324 million contract with the New York Yankees, signed in December 2019. Cole exercised his opt-out after the 2024 season, but both sides agreed for Cole to remain on his original four-year, $144 million remaining deal rather than the Yankees adding a fifth year. A six-time All-Star and 2023 AL Cy Young winner, Cole's 2024 season was delayed until June by an elbow issue. His 2026 base salary is $36,000,000.
