Carlos Rodon and the San Francisco Giants are both interested in getting back together for the 2023 season, but it won’t be cheap. To bring Rodon back, San Francisco would have to significantly step outside of its comfort zone. Rodon is anticipating his payday after emerging as one of the league’s most dominant pitchers.
Last season, Carlos Rodon set a career-high with 178 innings pitched. He had a 2.88 ERA and 237 strikeouts in 178 innings. After recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in 2019, he has a great appearance.
Although both parties are eager for a reunion, it is quite unlikely. The great outfielder Aaron Judge is a target for the San Francisco Giants. They have also been connected to Kodai Senga, a prominent pitcher from Japan.
Fans still believe that the Giants will pay up and give Rodon what he wants despite this news. They delighted in the time he offered them. He stood out for a group that had a.500 records at the end of the season.
The team’s fans want it to step outside of its comfort zone. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, two teams that aren’t hesitant to spend money, are in the same division as them. They can’t expect to keep up if the team doesn’t put its money where its mouth is.
The team needs to find a way to sign both Rodon and Judge, according to the fans. They would quickly emerge as the NL West favorites.
Fans of the San Francisco Giants shouldn’t hold out hope for Carlos Rodon
Farhan Zaidi, the president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, said he doesn’t anticipate a reunion.
This off-season, he hopes to add at least one more starting pitcher. Kodai Senga, who they’ve already hosted, would be a good choice to take Carlos Rodon’s position.
On Tuesday, the lefty and the New York Mets had a virtual meeting. The Mets are already beginning to conduct their due diligence on the starting pitching market. They are getting ready in case Jacob deGrom leaves.
Another organization connected to Rodon is the Texas Rangers. To coach the team’s pitchers, Mike Maddux was rehired. They would really want to hire another left-handed person.
