Overview
- Bleacher Report’s Tim Kelly forecasts the Yankees signing Giolito for two years at $43 million with a $20 million club option for 2028.
- No agreement has been reported, and Giolito is on the market after Boston declined to extend a qualifying offer.
- New York is targeting mid-rotation depth with Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón expected to miss the start of the season.
- Giolito posted a 10-4 record and a 3.41 ERA over 26 starts in 2025 after missing 2024 due to an internal brace procedure, then sat out the postseason with an elbow issue.
- Giolito said on the Baseball Isn’t Boring podcast that his elbow feels 100% healthy, and Kelly also floated the Cubs as an alternate fit.
