Carlos Rodón has looked like a Cy Young frontrunner through his first four starts, but will he be gone after 2022? His deal with the Giants gets reported as a two-year, $44 million contract, but in reality it may very well only be a one-year situation. Rodón has the ability to opt out of year two if he reaches 110 innings in 2022. Is it more likely that he opts out, or that he and the San Francisco Giants reach an extension?
On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the SF Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are:
Carlos Rodón more likely to opt out after this year or Giants work out an extension?
Is Rodón eligible for the qualifying offer if he reaches 110 IP and opts out of his second year? And how might that affect his market?
What player on the Giants right now is someone you could buy a jersey for now and not look foolish in a few seasons when they end up on the Braves?
If Alex Cobb and/or Tony DeSclafani are out for much longer do you see Jakob Junis being officially added to the rotation?
Any idea when Heliot Ramos might get called up more permanently?
Darin Ruf, how long can the Giants wait? Should they have been more aggressive in FA for a DH?
