The Yankees are targeting Carlos Rodon following the record Aaron Judge deal for a variety of reasons.
SAN DIEGO — The Yankees are targeting Carlos Rodon following the record Aaron Judge deal for a variety of reasons, such as: They desire to please Judge, who’s told them he’d love to see some improvements ; The Yankees are targeting Carlos Rodon.
Rodon is only 30, but the Yankees would like to keep him to a four- or five-year deal max, which is going to be an interesting goal in a market where three stars now have contracts that take them to 40 years old. Rodon was healthy and terrific in 2022, but he does have an injury history . The incumbent Giants, who have plenty of loot left over from their Judge try , but the Yankees’ hope is that Rodon prefers to be east. That’s a theme this year, with Trea Turner taking $42 million less to go to Philly than what the Padres were willing to go, Xander Bogaerts , the Georgia native Dansby Swanson and of course Judge.
The Dodgers, Rangers, Mets, Twins, Orioles and possibly Blue Jays are among others who’ve expressed interest in Rodon. But the Dodgers seem to want to go short with most, the Rangers already added Jacob deGrom, the Mets seem focused on Brandon Nimmo and Kodai Senga , the Twins are more eying superstar shortstop Carlos Correa and Rodon’s probably rich for the Orioles. So the opening is there for the Yankees.
