If you spend money QO money on Carlos Rodon, you are paying him for both a career performance AND to be able to pitch 30 starts. He has literally never pitched 30 times in one season, ever. The closest he came was 2016. This year he made it out there 24 times. His history should absolutely be indicative of his expectations.
