The New York Yankees, which led to the retention of American League’MVP’ Aaron Judge, are expected to move in earnest to recruit Carlos Rodon, the biggest free agent selection.
The New York Post of the United States said on the 13th (Korean time), “The New York Yankees will soon make an official offer to Carlos Rodon.”
Rodon is currently called the biggest starting pitcher remaining in the free agent market. Rodon debuted with the Chicago White Sox in 2014 and is 56-46 with a 3.60 earned run average in his major league career. Last year, he went 13-5 with an ERA of 2.37, and this year, he went 14-8 with an ERA of 2.88 in 31 games.
Currently, Rodon wants a long-term contract. According to multiple local media outlets, Rodon is hoping for a seven-year contract worth more than $200 million. However, teams hoping to sign Rodon are hesitant to accept his 7-year contract. There’s a good reason for that.
After stepping on the big league stage in 2015, Rodon only filled the regulation innings twice due to frequent injuries during the eight seasons he played. In particular, his 178 innings this season is the most in his personal career. Rodon’s ability when healthy is unquestionable, but being offered a seven-year contract is certainly a burden. 토토
A seven-year contract is needed to win the hearts of Rodon, who is receiving interest from various teams, but the Yankees are reluctant to do so. “The New York Post” said, “Rodon is receiving interest from several teams, including the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals,” and “Rodon is seeking a seven-year contract worth more than $200 million. But the Yankees are reluctant to sign a seven-year contract.” did.
But the Yankees appear to be harboring the idea that they can sign Rodon. The New York Post added, “Despite competition from Rodon, the best starting pitcher left on the market, the Yankees are fairly optimistic.” The Yankees believe that a Miami native like Trey Turner will favor the East.
In a situation where no team is reluctant to give Rodon a seven-year contract worth more than $200 million, attention is focusing on which team’s uniform Rodon will wear.
