Most fans believe that the Yankees will end up giving Cole the extra year since they cannot afford to lose especially after his incredible performances during the World Series.
This is not a surprise, we knew this was going to happen. The Yanks will add the year and void the opt-out.
We all saw it coming. Both Boone & the fielding have failed him for years. So they either pay him or he walks.
