New York Yankees marked before the announcement of the free agents that they were going to seek to retain the current American League Most Valuable Player, Aaron Judge and were going to look for an elite pitcher to reinforce their rotation facing next season.
After getting Aaron Judge to stay for the rest of his career, the New Yorkers got down to work to tie up one of the most sought-after pitchers in Carlos Rodón, who from now on will defend the mound in The Bronx.
The New York Yankees tied the sinister to a six-season deal in exchange for $88 million dollars and to the surprise of many, the contract did not include any release clause; much less for change.
