69 | David Cone breaks down the Yankees addition of Carlos Rodón

Toeing The Slab with David Cone

David, Justin and James fully cover the six year agreement between Carlos Rodón and the Yankees. David breaks down what makes Rodón an ideal fit for the Yankees at this moment in time. The crew goes over his increased K-rate the last couple of seasons, the range of fastball velocity he possesses, and David believes Rodón shouldn’t tweak anything that has brought him to this point until he has to. Coney believes the versatility of the Yankees rotation is what could make it great. The crew also drew comparisons to Tino Martinez when it comes to Rodón’s arrival in the Bronx. Elsewhere, the hosts think the rumor of Max Fried being available is something we all should keep in the back of our minds. What should the Yankees do next? Which of the still-available free agent pitchers would you want to sign? And a look at the World Baseball Classic.
