Carlos Rodon put pen to paper on a two-year, $44 million agreement with the San Francisco Giants over the free agency period. However, there was a possibility that he could have signed with another NL West powerhouse instead.

New York Post’s Jon Heyman revealed on Thursday that the Los Angeles Dodgers made a push to sign Rodon to a free agent deal in the offseason.

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman placed a mere one-year deal on the table for the All-Star starting pitcher. In the end, he sided with the Giants’ two-year offer that included an opt-out in the contract as well.

Rodon was among multiple notable All-Star pitchers who hit free agency last November. Unlike hurlers such as Max Scherzer and Robbie Ray, there were plenty of question marks surrounding the former Chicago White Sox ace.

For one, Rodon's injury history was quite a talking point over the past year. Just last season, he missed time in August due to shoulder fatigue. He did go on to notch a 2.37 ERA but recorded just 24 starts for the reigning AL Central champions.

The Giants and Dodgers were not the only teams that inquired about signing Rodon. The left-hander did reveal in March that he had talks with the White Sox about re-signing with the team, which came after they declined his one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer. More so, the New York Yankees had issued a request for his medicals.

Rodon is off to a promising start to his run with the Giants, although his ERA did balloon after the eight-run outing against the St. Louis Cardinals earlier in the week.

The next start for Rodon is set to come on May 21 with a home clash against the San Diego Padres.
