Last night, the Yankees agreed to a six-year deal with Carlos Rodon, the final pitcher on the free agent market that is likely to command that kind of money and commitment from any team this offseason. There will be other deals for other pitchers, but Rodon was probably the last guy that will be getting a nine figure deal from anyone. So now, with his putting signature to paper, we know what the market is for the upper echelon of pitchers in the game. Without even looking at it, you probably will get a sense of sticker shock, but it shouldn’t be.
Does the Yankees signing Carlos Rodon affect Aaron Nola?
