Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Yankees and left-hander Carlos Rodón have reached an agreement on a six-year, $162 million contract.
Heyman also notes that the deal includes a full no-trade clause. As the starting pitching market has played out, it had seemed almost inevitable that Rodón would wind up with the Yankees, and now it's a done deal. The 30-year-old southpaw had been seeking something in the range of seven years and $200 million, while the Yankees initially didn't want to go longer than five years -- ultimately meeting in the middle. Rodón will give the Yankees an outstanding 1-2 punch atop their rotation with ace right-hander Gerrit Cole.
