The New York Yankees are down 0-1 in the World Series after an epic walk-off grand slam by Freddie Freeman.

The Yankees will send Carlos […]

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

The Yankees have a number of stars who need to step up, […]

The New York Yankees came away with a 10-4 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday at Yankee Stadium, and Carlos Rodon turned in a quality outing, going six innings and giving up three earned runs while not getting much help from his defense.

The New York Yankees had a difficult series against the Washington Nationals, losing the final two games of the three-game set and dropping their lead over the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East to just one game. However, they may have had a legitimate excuse as to why they were struggling. After Wednesday’s 5-2 loss […]

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 […]

The New York Yankees started the 2024 season strong but they have endured struggles over the past few weeks. The upcoming All-Star break will represent a much-needed rest for New York. Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon has especially struggled. Rodon currently owns a 4.63 ERA across 103 innings pitched. The Yankees starting pitcher seems to know […]

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. All of the goodwill he built is now […]

New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon looked better but still couldn’t get back into his previous winning ways after falling 3-2 to the Cincinnati Reds. After a seven-start win streak, the $162 million lefty is now 0-4 with a 10.89 ERA in his last four starts. But he looked better against the Reds, going 5.1 […]

The New York Yankees, even after their 9-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, still have one of the best records in the MLB at 52-31.

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. In 2024, the script has flipped. The Bronx Bombers have an incredible, deep staff of starting pitchers that currently doesn’t include Cole due to an injury. […]

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, […]

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is eligible to return from the injured list in late May.

With Gerrit Cole injured, the New York Yankees have yet to announce their 2024 Opening Day starter.

So what about Nestor Cortes? “Nestor Cortes said he hasn’t […]

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. Cole, of course, would have been the obvious choice as he’s arguably the best pitcher in baseball. With Cole out, however, some people around the […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon threw 3+ innings, giving up five hits and three earned runs during Wednesday’s Spring Training start against the Tampa Bay Rays, but he is not concerned about the results as he gears up for a crucial 2024 season.

Overreactions are not uncommon in spring training. Fans sometimes forget that players are not in midseason form in March. However, New York Yankees fans have been frustrated with Carlos Rodon for a while. And the two-time All-Star’s difficult outing on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays did not help matters. The Yankees trail the Tampa […]

The New York Yankees have put together a strong, well-rounded team in 2023. The addition of Juan Soto will strike fear into opposing pitchers, as the duo of the Dominican slugger and Aaron Judge, the American League Home Run King, will be a nightmare to navigate. Unfortunately, it is possible the Yankees’ rotation could be […]

Carlos Rodon had solidified himself as a really effective pitcher in the MLB, until he came to the New York Yankees. With the prestigious club, he pitched a 6.85 ERA, the highest of his career with at least 10 games played. Even in his last start for New York last season, he was dreadful as […]

The New York Yankees were supposed to have a monster pitching staff in 2023. Headlined by perennial Cy Young contender Gerrit Cole, they added former San Francisco Giants Carlos Rodon to further bolster the team. A rotation of Cole, Rodon, Domingo German, and Nestor Cortes would’ve been nasty. A year later, and the Yankees’ pitching […]

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.

It is fair to say that the 2023 MLB season is not among the most memorable ones for New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon. It did not get any better for Rodon when he got absolutely rocked by the Kansas City Royals in his final start of the campaign, which was somehow made worse by […]

The New York Yankees’ 2023 season was absolutely abysmal and unfortunately, Carlos Rodon struggled immensely as well. After signing a massive deal with the organization last December, the lefty posted a putrid 6.85 ERA in 14 starts, missing a lot of the year due to injury as well. On Friday night, Rodon finished off the […]
