Carlos Rodón is among the biggest-name starting pitchers remaining available on the free agent market. Fresh off of their huge win to lock up superstar outfielder Aaron Judge, the Yankees are reportedly involved in the Rodón sweepstakes, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
The lefty, who will turn 30-years-old on Saturday, already has a robust market with teams like the Blue Jays, Dodgers, Giants, Mets and Rangers connected to him throughout free agency. Now, Heyman says the Yankees are motivated to add another arm, in part to “please Judge,” the clear face of the team.
Heyman says Rodón can also help the Yankees shore up the top of its rotation as the team seeks to compete with the World Series champion Astros.
