Why Yankees should be skeptical about adding Carlos Rodon

Related Topics: Carlos Rodon, Susan Slusser

In case you missed it, the Yankees are reportedly interested in signing free agent lefty Carlos Rodon.

Looking at his numbers, why wouldn’t they be? Rodon just turned in an excellent year for the San Francisco Giants. Not only did he post an impressive 2.88 ERA in 31 starts, but Rodon also struck out 237 hitters in just 178 innings. This led to him leading the majors with 12 strikeouts per nine innings (K/9) and also a 2.25 FIP.

Sure enough, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports Rodon is seeking a seven-year contract.
