Carlos Rodon Opts Out Of Contract

By Simon Hampton | November 6, 2022 at 4:54pm CDT

Giants starter Carlos Rodon has opted out of his contract and entered free agency, per Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Rodon had a player option for $22.5MM in 2023, but given his exceptional performance this year, it’s no surprise he’s chosen to enter the open market.

Rodon turned in 178 innings of 2.88 ERA ball in 2022, proving the decision to take a shorter deal last winter and bet on himself was the correct one. He’ll now enter free agency as one of the top players available, and should cash in with a long term deal. After an injury-plagued career, Rodon was strong for the White Sox in 2021, throwing 132 2/3 innings of 2.37 ERA ball. Given he’d only been able to make 41 starts in the previous four seasons, there was still some hesitancy of his durability, and he inked a short term deal with the Giants. That deal guaranteed him $21.5MM in 2022 and $22.5MM in 2023, with the ability to opt-out included if he pitched 110 innings in ’22. He passed that mark with ease, and it seemed inevitable he’d exercise the opt-out and test free agency, as he did today.

The 2014 third overall pick was utterly dominant in 2022. He struck out batters 33.4% of the time, walked just 7.3% of batters, and posted the best home run rate of his career, giving up just 12 all year. Durability was one of the biggest concerns over Rodon, but he only hit the injured list once all season, and that was due to an illness that forced him to miss his final start of the campaign, and the Giants only placed him on the IL to free up an active roster spot.

He’ll enter the market as one of the most sought-after arms available. The Giants will assuredly issue him a qualifying offer in the coming days which he’ll certainly decline. The Giants could well be one of the teams pushing to sign him, but should they lose him, they’ll at least receive some draft pick compensation.

      I would have loved to see him stay with the wsox who were too cheap to pay Rodon what he deserved, preferring instead to point to sore shoulder as the reason not to sign him. And why should they have? Rodon proved this season that the Sox were right about his shoulder. That’s also why the Sox won their division and made it to the WS .

      It’s not that simple. As a professional athlete, your income tax rate is based on where you play each game, not where your team is based. So Texas athletes only get half their salary taxed at the Texas rate. And as many have noted, if he spends his money in Texas, he’ll be subject to one of the highest sales taxes in the country.

          Sales tax is not the most important tax anyway for a player, it’s income tax. Play in a state like Texas or Florida and your salary is boosted 10%-20% by no income tax.

          bro, I appreciate a fellow cursed rangers fan but I have never seen anyone put up sales tax rates in cities when considering a free agent signing. It’s income tax.. and, most people don’t know this but on top of their salaries, every player in the majors gets a food stipend. It’s like $350 a day for the road games, and $175 for home I think. So they’re not too worried about how much their groceries are getting taxed, and even so, the stipend cover more than enough.

        No one would take on that money. Not the dodgers. Not the Mets. Not the Phillies. Not the Yankees. Not the red sox. No one because relievers are historical volatile and are not worth starter money. Good luck with that. He started mailing it in 2 seconds after he signed.

          He’s has 3 yrs with a sub 2 ERA 1 yr with 3.27 ERA one with 3.35 one with 2.79 and his awful yr that he had 5.59. All with well over a K per inning. He has been great to elite more often than he has been bad, 6 seasons to 1 actually. I do think he was overpaid on the contract, the notion that he has only had 1 good season is absolutely false tho.

          That’s the worst take on Diaz’s career I’ve ever seen… starting in 2018 he’s had two damn near unhittable years… two good to very good closer years… and one terrible year (in 2019)… there are plenty of teams that would’ve made him the highest paid closer, because he’s the best right now. Sure that changes a lot w closers, and I agree w Von maybe most teams wouldn’t have done the 5th year, but the met hate is becoming ridiculous.

          sfgiants.com from memory. The Zaidi offseason outlook interview. He was bullish on Harrison. Effectively said he will probably start in the minors but will be up sooner rather than later if the 2022 trajectory is maintained. I was surprised.

    It’s interesting to compare the comments here to what many wrote when the Giants signed him last year. There were a lot on opinions that the Giants made a foolish signing.

      If the Giants don’t re-sign Rodon, they will look foolish. They could have traded Rodon at the deadline for a MLB top 30 prospect. Giants are usually smart so my bet is that they resign Rodon for big money.

        No one knows what the return would have been for Rodon. It’s doubtful that FZ turned down a return that was better than the comp pick they’ll get if he signs elsewhere.

        And are you talking top 30 overall, or a team’s teams top 30? A top 30 usually refers to a team’s top 30. Anything less than a teams top 5-10 is going to be deemed worse than the comp pick.

        Most teams seem to be preferring the comp pick these days. Plus, they have a better chance at re-signing him by not trading him.

        Yeah, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell the Giants turned down an offer for a top-30 overall prospect (read: 55-60 FV) for Carlos Rodon at the deadline.

      I don’t know what there really was to criticize other than being worried about his durability which has been an issue with him. He was coming off a great 2021 season and only signed for 2 years maximum. Some risk but short term for a pitcher with his upside.

        If you didn’t see the comments from last year, trust me. more than one commenter thought the Giants were foolish. Granted, you are right that most were about his durability, but the tenor of the comments from then to now is vastly different. Here are a few:

        “He was a good mentor to the Sox kids. Rather see that money go towards a Gio extension.”

        “44 million for a guy who’s pitched 170 innings the past 3 years combined. Seems a bit high”

        “Seems about $43 million too high.”

        “…he got babied down the stretch and still couldn’t get out of the 3rd in the ALDS.”

        “Giants will regret this when he undergoes season ending surgery in June.”

        “$22 mil a year seems steep with Rodon’s health problems”

        “He might not even make it through 50 innings. Huge risk.”

        “Unfortunately, Carlos will be injured after a few starts. Been there; done that.
        Sox didn’t want to take a risk that he would have accepted the QO.”

        “They must be high to pay that much for Rodan (sic). I just do not understand.”

        I will admit that there seemed to be more negative comments than there actually was. I’d estimate only about a quarter negative when it seemed like more. Still, not nearly the same level of positivity as now.

          All those comments coming from the fanbase of a team that gave Leury Garcia a 3-year-deal is kinda hilarious.

    A good fit for the Mets, we need a strong lefty with some staying power, doesn’t get injured much and is tough.

    Good bet by Giants last year–they get what’s possibly peak Rondon, plus a draft pick. He’s an interesting sign for any competitive team that can manage his workload.

    Given his track record, I feel like he’s kind of an R.A. Dickey situation where he might have figured something out and could be elite for another 1-3 years, but anything beyond 1-2 is risky.

    I think he deserves and will get a 2 years/$50M guarantee w/ a vesting option for $30M- or something along those lines- no reason to opt out of $22.5M for any less than that.

    And I think SF or the Mets will sign him. Yankees are a possibility, but only if it’s for one year or something like that.

    An injury prone player has one injury free year and some sucker is going to sign him for five.

    Maybe he has turned the corner and will remain healthy but still, buyer beware.

    White Sox did him a solid by not slapping a QO on him last offseason. Not sure he would have received the same kind of deal he received. Now he can sign a 5/100 back with the Sox. Cease/Rodon/Lynn is a juicy top three. Giolito/Kopech as the back end guys? Not bad.

    In no world is Rondon only getting $50M guaranteed. He might as well have asked the Giants for an additional $27.5M for ’24 in order to opt-in and they would’ve gladly obliged. Dude is 29 with relatively low-mileage. He’s looking for a career contract and some team will give it to him.

    The team that signs him needs to be prepared for injury. One healthy year against a backdrop of injuries thru his career. But someone will overlook all that and give him a regrettable long term deal.

    All top free agents this year start with the Dodgers, they are the gold standard in the mlb. They added Freeman last year, and Betts a few years ago, now I see them getting a top pitcher. All the top players will be in play!

    Rodon is an injury just waiting to happen. Then again, I guess all pitchers are. But he bet on himself so good for him. Still, can’t help but feel like he’s going to sign a huge deal and spend much of it on the IL.
