i SO hope you're wrong about rodon! he does not nearly deserve to be in the top 15 salary bracket. i don't care HOW good he can look at times. does track record mean anything to you? the guy is made of glass and i'd look elsewhere for much less money than 18+mil.
We were put in a position where we HAD to depend on Rodon. I'd prefer that not to be a thing again as well. He did a great job for us this season overall, much more than I expected. But he's not good enough, nor durable enough for us to set aside a bona fide option for. If Jerry opens up and snags a legit bona fide #3 starter to go with Gio and Lynn....then Rodon/Keuchel/Kopech working for 4/5 I'm fine with. We need another staring pitcher. A playoff caliber one that is a no brainer start in every series. Period.
