Yankees starter Nestor Cortes is optimistic that he'll be ready to go by Opening Day.Cortes has been dealing with a hamstring strain that will keep him out of the World Baseball Classic for Team USA and raised some concerns about his availability for the start of the 2023 season.

Like Carlos Rodon and Kevin Gausman before him, the San Francisco Giants allowed Carlos Correa to walk.The publicly stated reason was over a difference of opinion on his medical report.The publicly public fallout doesn't have such a simple reason.Why did the Giants let the situation get so chaotic?The Giants maybe don't owe anybody - the fans, the press, their own players - anything, but don't we owe it to ourselves to wonder why they're comfortable with that arrangement?

NEW YORK - The New York Yankees added Carlos Rodon to their rotation on Thursday, agreeing to a six-year, $162 million contract with the left-hander, a person familiar with the negotiations said.The person confirmed the contract to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it was pending a physical.

Not much is going right for the Yankees this season, but Michael King's return to full health could help turn things around in the Bronx.The Yankees currently find themselves in the cellar of the American League East, but hope isn't lost in New York.The re-emergence of Michael King as a weapon out of Aaron Boone's bullpen could do wonders to turn the team's season around.

CloseMarly Rivera is a writer for ESPNdeportes.comand ESPN.com.WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Anthony Volpe is scheduled Thursday to become the youngest New York Yankees starting shortstop since Hall of Famer Derek Jeter's debut at 20 years old in 1995.While that might be a daunting task for any other 21-year-old who grew up in a Yankee-crazy household, Volpe is no ordinary young man.

Yankees fans already knew that the team was going to be a tad shorthanded to start the 2023 campaign.No. 5 starter Frankie Montas underwent shoulder surgery, opening up a rotation battle between Domingo Germán and Clarke Schmidt, and with re-signed reliever Tommy Kahnle concerned about the biceps injury that has kept him out of action early this spring, he looked shaky at best for Opening Day, too.

Carlos Rodon began his introductory news conference with the Yankees by saying that he's a man of few words.But those few words he did say on Thursday morning were surely music to Yankees fans' ears, particularly when the lefty spoke about wanting to pitch in the postseason in pursuit of a World Series title.

The New York Yankees celebrate on the field after defeating the Cleveland Guardians in Game 5 of an American League Division baseball series, Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022, in New York.Opening Day for the Yankees is less than two weeks away and Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone and company will have to decide on what the Bombers' roster will look like.

2022 finished with the Yankees making a sixth straight playoff appearance... and failing to make the World Series once again.That's probably unsatisfying for Yankees fans, but that's really their own problem, as the Yankees were a top-flight team last year, and look like a serving of the cream of the crop for 2023, as well.

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole recalled the first time he met Carlos Rodon a "handful of years ago" while working out.For Cole, what stood out for him right off the bat was the raw strength and the intensity Rodon had."I think everyone's kind of gotten to see that a little bit more as he's continued to take the mound over and over again," Cole told reporters on Thursday.

The Yankees top target to fill their left field vacancy is off the board.Andrew Benintendi is headed to the Chicago White Sox after agreeing to a five-year, $75 million deal, according to reports.The Bombers wanted Benintendi back, but the 28-year-old was seeking a fifth year on his contract that the Yankees were unwilling to offer, according to the YES Network's Jack Curry
Benintendi was traded from the Kansas City Royals to the Yankees prior to last season's trade deadline.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball.Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged-in New York Yankees fans, and fans across the country.Sign up here to join Reacts.It's been a pretty awful week at Yankees camp, with players dropping like flies left and right.

New York Yankees free agent signing Carlos Rodon will begin the 2023 season on the injured list with a left forearm strain.Carlos Rodon will begin the season on the IL with a left forearm strain, Brian Cashman said.Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) March 9, 2023 The injury is particularly disappointing for Rodon.

TAMPA, Fla. - Carlos Rodon couldn't pitch anymore.He was broken down and used up.He was a bust.Does any of that sound familiar?In Rodon's mind, at least, that was the book on him after the White Sox' pandemic-shortened 2020 season ended in a three-game American League wild-card series defeat against the A's.

The Atlanta Braves are back in action Sunday afternoon when they host the New York Yankees at CoolToday Park in North Port.Charlie Morton will make his first start of the spring and will be followed by Ian Anderson who will be making his second appearance.Carlos Rodon will get the start for the Yankees.

Charlie Morton was solid in his spring debut and Ian Anderson bounced back with a good performance, but a late lead slipped away in the ninth as the Atlanta Braves fell to the New York Yankees, 10-6.Morton looked crisp in his first inning of work and showed good movement with his curveball.He fell behind in the count to Oswaldo Cabrera, who took him deep for a solo shot to right.

If there's ever been a fantasy position where nobody knows anything, it's the starting pitchers.But you need a list and we need a plan, so here we go.What follows are my suggested salaries if you play in a Fantasy Salary Cap Draft format.We've already done Shuffles for all the offensive positions: catchers, corner infielders, middle infielders and outfielders.

We did it!We did it!Everyone rejoice!The Dodgers have officially signed RHP Noah Syndergaard to a one-year deal!If you're an avid reader of dodgersnation.com, an avid watcher of Dodgers Nation Youtube or an active follower of me on Twitter (@noahcamras), you've probably heard me mention the Dodgers signing RHP Noah Syndergaard this offseason.

As the Dodgers' quiet offseason continues, they did manage to swing a trade.They are set to acquire right-handed reliever J.P. Feyereisen from the Rays for minor-league left-handed reliever .It isn't Carlos Rodon, but it's something.I guess?But seriously, this is a move for the future bullpen rather than 2023.

Frankie Montas said he was not "100 percent" healthy last year when he was traded to the New York Yankees and emphasized he expects to pitch this season.Montas is expected to miss at least the first half of this season after undergoing surgery last month on the labrum in his pitching shoulder.

NJ Advance Media | Mike Rosenstein: Michael A. Taylor, who won the Gold Glove award in 2021, just hit the trade market according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.Taylor, 31, doesn't offer much with the bat.He hit .254with nine home runs in 2022.Per Rosenstein, "the Yankees are set in center with Gold Glover Harrison Bader, but putting Taylor in left, with Judge, a former Gold Glove nominee, in right, would give New York plenty of protection in the outfield."

Following an overnight stunner of a transaction, here are three things we'll be keeping an eye on around baseball throughout the day:
1.What will the fallout of Correa's new deal be?Carlos Correa and the Mets stunned the baseball world by coming to terms on a 12-year, $315MM contract last night, and a shakeup of this magnitude is certain to have ripple effects throughout the offseason and beyond.

In the wake of Trevor Bauer's suspension being reduced to time served and him being immediately reinstated, the Dodgers might go over the luxury tax again in 2023.Let's take a look at why a team like L.A. might want to get under the luxury tax for a year.The fact is, Los Angeles might have already gone over the first luxury tax threshold and just don't know it yet.
