As the New York Yankees continue their push towards the postseason, the team still has certain holes to address.

The Major League Baseball season is a grind that is not for the weak. With a 162-game slate squeezed into a six-month window, there are bound to be bumps in the road for MLB’s best teams and biggest stars. Enduring a bad week at the plate is one thing, but months of inconsistent play can […]

Was it just a dream? Following a disastrous, injury-ridden first season with the New York Yankees in 2023, Carlos Rodon looked much more like the two-time All-Star that ownership agreed to give $162 million in 2022 during the first two and a half months of this campaign.

Carlos Rodón’s 2023 season with the New York Yankees was forgettable, marked by injuries and poor performance, as evidenced by his 6.85 ERA in 14 games. However, he has since turned things around, pitching at the level expected of an All-Star after signing a lucrative $162 million contract with New York. Rodón was unstoppable, retiring […]

Last season, Gerrit Cole was holding together the New York Yankees’ starting pitching nearly single-handedly, overcoming injuries and ineffective play around him to win his first Cy Young award.

Usually when an athlete goes up against his former team, they downplay it and say that it is “just another game,” but that is not what New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon said after facing the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. “Going up against your former club is a big deal,” Carlos Rodon said, […]

With Gerrit Cole expected to miss the first one-two months of the 2024 season due to injury, the New York Yankees will need to find a different Opening Day starter.

The Yankees trail the Tampa […]

The New York Yankees were supposed to have a monster pitching staff in 2023.

Carlos Rodon’s 2023 wasn’t really a year to remember, baseball-wise of course. The pitcher started the season with a forearm injury, which caused him to miss games until July. New York Yankees fans eagerly anticipated his debut with the team, hoping that he’ll finally play the first season of his six-year, $161 million contract. Once […]

Carlos Rodon’s first year with the New York Yankees after signing a six-year, $162 million contract last offseason did not go to plan, as he struggled with injuries and had a 6.85 ERA in 14 starts after he returned.
