Prized free-agent pitcher Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees have agreed to a record nine-year, $324 million contract, sources told ESPN\'s Jeff Passan.

The deal includes an opt-out clause after five years, sources told Passan, and surpasses the deal Stephen Strasburg finalized with the Washington Nationals on Monday for most total money and annual average salary for a pitcher at $36 million.

An opt out clause for the pitcher for the Yankees?

CC Sabathia had opt out clauses in his 9 figure Yankee contract, and he exercised them too.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

I'm glad LAD didn't sign him up particularly for that ridiculous contract for a pitcher who plays every 5 days.

Also he becomes pretty good after he's traded to the Houston cheaters? Not a coincidence.

In the national league his ERA is close to 4 runs.

OH and the Yankees desparation... :lol:
