The New York Yankees seem to be in a bittersweet position with regard to starting pitching. The team has more starters than they need, with six of them on their depth chart. This could be good for the team, and bad for Marcus Stroman<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The veteran starter Stroman had completed his first full season with the Yankees in 2024. it was the first of two years on his contract with the club, where he\u2019s set to make a total of $37 million. Thankfully this contract was short-term, as the Yankees may be having second thoughts about Stroman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stroman fought to become a Yankee ever since he was on his way out of Toronto. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and the front office had considered adding Stroman years ago but didn\u2019t see him as a dealbreaker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Certain comments from Cashman and Stroman led to bad blood between the two parties. A well-paid contract seemed to fix that. However, the product the club received wasn\u2019t exactly what they were looking for. <\/span>Despite Stroman\u2019s phenomenal pitching profile and ability, his first season was not completely satisfactory, and he did not crack the postseason rotation. Where do the Yankees and Stroman go from here?<\/span><\/p>\n
