When the New York Yankees signed veteran right-handed pitcher Marcus Stroman to a two-year, $37 million deal on January 11, 2024, they were surely hoping he would help provide valuable depth to their team’s rotation during the 2024 season and be a reliable postseason arm for them.<\/p>\n

Alas, Stroman proved to be unreliable during the regular season, as shown by his 10-9 record, 4.31 ERA, and 113 strikeouts in 154.2 innings pitched. Although Stroman amassed a 5.79 ERA in his final 15 regular season games pitched, which made it so the Yankees didn’t pitch him at all in the postseason.<\/p>\n

Now with the Yankees adding Max Fried to an already deep rotation, Stroman is seen as the odd man out. And according to a January 7\u00a0article from USA Today’s Bon Nightengale, “[The Yankees] are actively trying to deal starter Marcus Stroman and clear his $18 million salary.”<\/p>\n

Stroman’s trade value certainly isn’t too high right now. This is why, according to a January 9 article from Jon Heyman of the New York Post, New York is willing to make some contract concessions in order to offload him elsewhere.<\/p>\n

“The Yankees are still trying to trade Marcus Stroman and are willing to pay down his $18M salary,” Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n

“Should they save money there, the Yankees would have more to spend on an infielder \u2014 though don\u2019t expect Alex Bregman or Nolan Arenado.”<\/p>\n
