Carlos Rodon, Yankees comply with 6-year, $162 million contract: studies

December 16, 2022

The Yankees proceed their offseason spending by locking down a lefty arm to bolster their beginning rotation.

Lefty starter Carlos Rodon and the Yankees are in settlement on a six-year, $162 million contract, based on studies. The deal features a full no-trade clause.

The six-year deal takes one of the best pitcher left off the market after the Mets secured Justin Verlander and the Rangers splurged on Jacob deGrom for his companies.

The strikes comes every week after the Bronx Bombers re-signed AL MVP Aaron Choose to a nine-year, $360 million contract. The Yankees have now assured $522 million between Choose and Rodon.

Carlos Rodon joins a rotation that already consists of Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes and Luis Severino.

Final season with the San Francisco Giants, Rodon went 14-8 with a 2.88 ERA. The 30-year-old began in 31 video games and recorded 237 strikeouts on the season.
