Yankees, Gerrit Cole and Roger Clemens
TAMPA — Gerrit Cole proudly rocked an iconic beard back in the day with the Astros, but that was before he signed a nine-year, $324 million contract with the Yankees in 2020.

Cole, who signed a record-setting nine-year, $324 million contract before the 2020 season, opted out of the final four years and $144 million left on his deal on Nov. 2. The Yankees had the ability to void that opt-out by adding an additional year and $36 million to Cole’s pact, but they decided against that.
While Cole praised his fellow Boras Corp. client, he also spoke highly of the Yankees' offseason moves following Soto's departure.
