Contract Value Index (CVI)
Will Warren's one-year, $800K deal with the Yankees earns a B- CVI, representing solid value for a young starter who projects as a dependable back-end rotation piece. The 25-year-old right-hander has shown enough in limited MLB action to warrant a rotation spot, and at near-minimum salary, the Yankees are getting a cost-controlled arm during a competitive window where every dollar matters. Warren's solid starter profile fits perfectly into New York's pitching depth strategy — he's not going to be their ace, but he can provide 150+ innings of league-average production while prospects like Chase Hampton develop in the minors. The modest salary allows the Yankees flexibility to pursue bigger fish while still addressing rotation needs, and if Warren takes a step forward, this becomes an absolute steal. Given the Yankees' payroll constraints and need for reliable innings, locking up a controllable starter at this price point represents smart roster construction, even if Warren's ceiling remains limited.
Performance Analysis
Will Warren grades as an above average performer among MLB starting pitchers, earning a B Performance grade. He carries a 5.16 ERA (well above the league average of 4.20, a significant concern) and a 1.44 WHIP across 185.0 innings pitched with a 9.7 K/9 rate. His 9-11 record provides context on team support and run prevention. A 9.7 K/9 rate indicates above-average swing-and-miss stuff. As a sophomore at 26, Will is a key contributor for the Yankees.
