Pitcher Gerrit Cole is remaining a New York Yankee after he opted to remain on his four-year deal with the team earlier this month through the 2028 season, but the two sides are still talking about a possible contract extension.
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner opened up more about Cole's contract situation on Thursday, admitting he wasn't "comfortable" with adding a fifth year to the ace's contract. However, the owner said the Yankees still very much want the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner to remain in New York.
