Early July is most certainly not the date any of us had in mind for the debut of Carlos Rodón in a Yankees jersey. However, now that we’re here, it just feels great to have inarguably the best number two arm in any rotation, taking the hill.
Rodón would easily be the ace of too many teams to count and to have an arm like that following Gerrit Cole, one can daydream with ease. For his start in pinstripes, the southpaw who began his career in Chicago, but with the White Sox, will face a former Yankee, in Jameson Taillon.
