Former Houston Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole is headed to New York after reports say he agreed to a historic $324 million deal with the Yankees.
AAV of $35 million, according to Spotrac. Cole's AAV passes Strasburg, and Astros right-hander Zack Greinke .
Once official, Cole's contract will be the fourth largest deal in MLB history behind Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton , Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper , and Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout . "He's got the sharp breaking ball," said Howard, who is currently a partner at SeventySix Capital, a venture capital firm based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. "He's got the changeup, which really for me has been the difference-maker for him. He's really gotten control of that changeup and being able to throw it at any point in any count."
The program will distribute a $200,000 grant to four baseball fields in communities that need the playing areas refurbished. In providing the grants, the league is hoping to keep playing fields maintained as it looks to continue growing the game for youth throughout the country.
