They re-signed reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge, and now one of the best left-handed pitchers in the league.Fans are in a much better position now than they were a week ago when they thought they were going to lose out on Judge. Things have drastically changed since then. Now that they've signed Rodon, they can shift their focus to the vacancy they have in left field. It's been rumored that they would like to bring back Andrew Benintendi. They could look to Oswaldo Cabrera to fill the position if they don't sign an outfielder.The New York Yankees got a good one in Carlos RodonSan Francisco Giants v Chicago CubsThe New York Yankees just got a lot better with the addition of Carlos Rodon. He's a fiery competitor. He emerged as the go-to guy during the back half of his tenure with the White Sox.Nobody wants to be out on the mound when it matters more than Rodon does. He'll never shy away from big moments and when you play for the Yankees, there are plenty of big moments.If he gets past his arm issues, the Yankees could be major contenders for the next couple of seasons.
