Carlos Rodón bet on himself and won.
After opting out of his deal with the San Francisco Giants, Rodón inked a six-year, $162 million deal with the New York Yankees on Thursday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Rodón hit the market after the 2020 season but opted to return to the White Sox on a one-year, $3 million deal. That might go down as the best decision of his career. He thrived under new White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz, who took over for longtime coach Don Cooper prior to the 2021 season.In 2021, Rodón cleaned up his delivery, particularly in his lower half, and regained the velocity that made him a standout prospect. Armed with a 95.
Rodón opted to bet on himself with his next deal, signing a two-year, $44 million contract with the Giants that included an opt-out after the first year. If he dominated and proved to other teams that he could stay healthy, he had an opportunity to earn a mega-deal the following season.
