NEW YORK — The Yankees got their bulldog as Carlos Rodon was officially introduced as a member of the team on Thursday morning.
The two-time All-Star, who will wear No. 55 on the back of his pinstriped jersey, will slot right behind Gerrit Cole as the Bombers have formed one of the most formidable rotations in baseball.
Rodon — who pitched to a 2.88 ERA in 31 starts for the Giants in 2022 — has the reputation of being a fiery competitor. The southpaw regularly demonstrates his passion by letting out a roar coming off the mound in big moments.
