Yankees’ $162 Million Pitcher Breaks Silence on Awful 2023 Performance
Starting pitcher Carlos Rondon joined the New York Yankees last winter by signing a six-year, $162 million contract. Unfortunately, his first season in pinstripes didn’t go at all how he planned.
Multiple trips to the injured list limited the left-handed hurler to just 14 starts and 64.1 innings. His performance on the mound also wasn’t great, as Rodón turned in a 6.85 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 64 strikeouts. Already in Tampa to get prepared for the upcoming season, he spoke with Greg Joyce of the New York Post about his nightmare 2023 campaign.
“I just feel like I got some stuff to prove and I want to stay on the field a lot longer than I did last year,” he said before a February 12 bullpen session.
