Really have to laugh reading MLBTR. All sorts of news about accepting or declining options. Cole, Snell, Rizzo, Manaea, Ha-Seong Kim, Wandy Peralta, etc. But nary a word on Marco Gonzales! Isn’t anybody paying attention!!
I think Cole is going to get burned--with his injury issues this year and that '25 is his age 34 season, would a team offer as much as $144MM over four years?
The deal I'd look at is Jordan Montgomery with the Dbacks covering, say, 1/3-1/2 of his salary with the final amount depending on performance. The owner doesn't want him, and even at $15MM (2/3 of his player option), he'd be a good bounce-back bet.

He’s worth keeping on a one year deal for cheap
He pitched as well as falter in 2024
Um, he's going to miss most or all of 2025.
hadnt heard that part
what about Robbie Ray for KeBryan to serve as our 2025 left handed pitcher experiment?

That would probably use up the entire offseason budget.
