Over at the New York Post, Jon Heyman has an article about the market for left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon, the biggest name left on the pitching market. The main topic of Heyman’s article is that the Yankees are interested in Rodon and intend to make him an offer soon, but the most notable element for our purposes here is a word that never shows up.
The initial indication is that Rodon seeks seven-plus years at $200 million plus, and while the Yankees seem reluctant to go to that length, they also seem very serious and hopeful about this pursuit.
