Yankees make Gerrit Cole record-breaking contract offer, per report.
Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings take place this week in San Diego. If the New York Yankees have their way, they'll be able to announce the signing of free-agent ace Gerrit Cole before the meetings conclude on Thursday morning. It's unclear how likely that is, but we're past the point where we can classify the Yankees as having genuine interest in adding Cole to their rotation.
To wit, the Yankees have reportedly offered Cole a seven-year deal worth $245 million, per Bob Klapisch of the New York Times. (Amusingly, our Mike Axisa predicted Cole would receive that exact offer from the Yankees early on Sunday.)
