“Moments after the media availability to introduce Yoshida, Boras concluded a deal with the Sox’ rivals, negotiating a six-year, $162 million deal with the New York Yankees for lefthander Carlos Rodón,” writes Speier. “The late-stage negotiations took place as Boras snacked on food from a buffet provided by the Red Sox.”

That has to be music to the ears of Yankee fans. The agent of their big offseason addition finalizing the deal.

The Yankees’ offseason consisted of retaining superstar outfielder Aaron Judge to a nine-year, $360 million contract, and first baseman Anthony Rizzo on a two-year, $40 million deal. Their one addition this offseason was bringing back relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle.

Rodon spent one season with the San Francisco Giants, where he posted a 2.88 ERA, a 1.028 WHIP, 14-8 win-loss record, 237 strikeouts, and 52 walks over 178.0 innings of work (31 starts). He also made the All-Star Game for the second consecutive year.

With the addition of Rodon, the Yankees have one of the more formidable starting rotations alongside Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes, Luis Severino, and Frankie Montas. And it was all finalized while Boras was attending Yoshida’s press conference at Fenway Park.
