A season that was delayed by injuries ended in a horrific blowup against the Royals, stoking concerns about what exactly the Yankees can expect from Rodon in the coming years.
Instead, this October, the left-hander planned on getting away from the game before he got to work on a critical offseason.
“Especially now that we’ve had a full year together, I think we know more about each other and what the rhythm of conversation needs to look like,” pitching coach Matt Blake said on the final day of the regular season. “Obviously having some of the struggles this year, there are more things we want to stay on top of in the offseason to make sure we’re heading in on a good path to spring training.
Asked if Rodon was in good enough shape this year, Blake said it was “hard to say for sure” because this was the Yankees’ first year with him and they did not have any experience with how he normally came into camp.
