Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees may play a game of contract chicken this offseason, as the veteran ace can opt out—but the team has a remedy for such an action.

But any fear that Cole will find greater riches elsewhere can be allayed simply: If he chooses to opt out, the Yankees can nullify it by adding a 10th year at $36 million onto his original deal."
