Being
reported as a 6 year, $162 million deal.
I
love this signing for the Yankees and think it really helps them close the gap with the Astros and keeps them as the favorite in the AL East.
Rodon is entering his age 30 season and I could see him being an All-Star caliber pitcher for most of the contract. He has been 5+ WAR for the past two seasons in both leagues and has a high strikeout rate and K/BB ratio. Because of his age and cost he was my first FA choice besides Judge this season. Cole, Rodon, Severino, Cortes, Montas is potentially the top rotation in the league. Very exciting for Yankees fans. Let's now get LeMahieu healthy and maybe (if we're greedy) sign Benintendi too.
