The New York Yankees are in a bit of a pickle with Marcus Stroman. With a rotation that’s overflowing with talent, the question on everyone’s mind is whether they can successfully trade him and what it might take to make that happen.
Stroman’s recent performance has raised eyebrows, and not in a good way. His 4.31 ERA last season, coupled with alarming declines in strikeout and groundball rates, has many wondering if he’s still the pitcher he once was. The Yankees are reportedly willing to eat some of his $18.5 million salary to facilitate a trade, but will that be enough to entice other teams?
Let’s dive into the debate:
What do you think is the best-case scenario for the Yankees regarding Stroman? Will they be able to find a taker, or is he destined to remain in New York? If they do manage to trade him, how much of his salary do you think they’ll have to cover?
And here’s a bold prediction: If Stroman does get traded, could he actually thrive in a new environment, perhaps even rediscovering his form? Or is he simply past his prime, and any team acquiring him would be making a mistake?
