In a rather shocking, but fortunate turn of events, Astros right hander Gerrit Cole has agreed to a 4 year contract worth around $75 million with an additional $1.0 million in bonuses for 200 innings pitched and an all star appearance each year. The 4th year is a player option. This will keep Cole with the Astros through 2022 and his age 32 season, with a player option for 2023 and age 33 season.

Earlier this year it was reported that Cole was looking for a contract for 6 years and in the $30+ million annual salary range. Cole did miss almost 4 months of time this season with shoulder issues, so this could be a possible reason why his demands dropped? Either way, the Astros are thrilled to have the Cole Train back, especially at a very reasonable price!
