Good news for the White Sox, who can now focus solely on Cole!

Cole must be a happy man rn

Sweet. Rendon is ours!

7/220+

In before the Sox offered 7/234.5

Didn't think he was ever going to leave the Nats. Pretty much seals the deal on Rendon I would imagine. 

Passan says $245 btw.

That's a spicy meatball

Gerrit Cole is 1000% going to be a Yankee.

Jesus.  7 fucking years at that AAV?  Insanity.  Glad the Sox passed on that.

In before.... ahh I give up.

Good deal for Stras, no wonder he signed so quickly.

Well... good for Stras and his family. 

So Cole should be getting a similar contract?

Gonna be an interesting battle between both of them.

I'll be glad when Keuchel comes off of the board before we sign him and he morphs into James Shields.

I would imagine quite a bit more.

Good god Cole is gonna get 300MM

this is the least shocking news of the off-season.

I think Stras was -500 to go back to WASH.

At those numbers, I won't be surprised if Cole hits 300m.

7 years $220 Mil  

7 years, 245 million. LOL what a disaster of a contract.

I'm sure there's a lot of deferred money in there as the Nats love deferred money, but that is still absolutely absurd.

7 years at 35 mil seems like an awful lot for a guy who is going to turn 32 next year. 

Will be interesting to see where Rendon ends up now.

TBT to when no sane front office was going to be giving strasburg more than 5 years.
