MLB Rumors: Carlos Rodon and the San Francisco Giants have reportedly agreed to terms on a two year, $44 million deal with an opt out after year one.
Rodon, 29, was one of the more interesting free agents on the market this offseason. The lefthanded pitcher was the 3rd overall pick in the 2014 draft by the Chicago White Sox, but didn’t meet expectations due to injuries that dogged him for much of his time as a pro. The ChiSox actually non-tendered him after the 2020 season, then re-signed him to a lesser deal than what he would have made in arbitration.
