Carlos Rodón News
The New York Yankees agreed to a six-year, $162 million deal with free-agent left-hander Carlos Rodon on Thursday. The deal include a full no-trade clause. Even after adding starters Sean Manaea and Ross Stripling, the Giants reportedly were still trying to re-sign Rodon. However, the Yankees always seemed like the favorites to land the back-to-back All-Star southpaw to upgrade the top of their rotation next to Gerrit Cole. The 30-year-old struggled with injuries and poor control before the 2021 season with the Chicago White Sox. In the last two years with Chicago and San Fran, Rodon has gone 27-13 with a 2.67 ERA (2.42 FIP), a 0.99 WHIP, a 33.9 percent strikeout rate and a 7.1 percent walk rate in 310 2/3 innings over 55 starts. The American League East and Yankee Stadium will present challenges, but Rodon has become a fantasy ace.
The New York Yankees made an official offer to free-agent starting pitcher Carlos Rodon on Tuesday, and there is reportedly a "sizeable gap" between the two parties, per NY Post's Jon Heyman. While Rodon remains the Yankees' top priority, the 30-year-old lefty is reportedly seeking a seven-plus-year deal worth at least $30 million a year. If true, this would be quite a large asking price for a pitcher who has never thrown 200 innings in a season, and prior to 2022, had not pitched more than 150 innings since 2016. Rodon was excellent in 2022 with the Giants, going 14-8 with a 2.88 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 33.4% strikeout rate in 31 starts and 178 innings. He will be a higher-end fantasy option, regardless of where he lands.
It sounds as if the San Francisco Giants are still trying to re-sign left-hander Carlos Rodon after signing starting pitchers Sean Manaea and Ross Stripling this week. The Giants and St. Louis Cardinals remain interested in the back-to-back All-Star hurler, but the New York Yankees remain optimistic that they can land him and are preparing to make a formal offer to him soon. Some sources are saying that the Yankees are Rodon's preferred destination because of his affinity for the East Coast (he's from Florida). The 30-year-old is believed to be seeking a seven-year deal worth around $200 million after becoming an ace in both real life and in fantasy over the last couple of seasons with the Giants and Chicago White Sox.

Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon should have plenty of elite fantasy upside on the mound in his first season with the New York Yankees. Already one of the sport's best starting pitchers, the 30-year-old joined the Yankees as a free agent this winter after spending the 2022 campaign with the San Francisco Giants. While with San Francisco, Rodon pitched to a 2.88 ERA and a 2.25 FIP in 178 innings of work while registering 237 strikeouts and 52 walks. Elsewhere, the veteran finished in the 89th percentile or better in xSLG, xwOBA, xBA, and strikeout rate thanks in large part to a four-seamer and slider combination. Opposing batters managed just a .278 xwOBA against the four-seamer, while the slider finished with a 39% whiff rate. The run values for the two pitches were -22 and -9 respectively. Rodon also finished with a career-best 14 pitcher wins in 29 starts. With his elite effectiveness on the mound, Rodon could log a similar, or even better pitcher win total for a Yankees team that won 99 games in 2022 and featured three starters who posted double-digit pitcher wins.
