Yankees Considered Favorites To Sign Marcus Stroman

[Brock Beauchamp]

Jon Morosi has reported the Yankees and Marcus Stroman have had "productive conversations", leading to him speculating the elder New York club is the most likely to sign the 32-year-old righty.

Stroman opted out of his contract with the Cubs at the conclusion of the 2023 season, hoping to build upon the $21 million he was set to earn in Chicago in 2024. With the Cubs agreeing to terms with Shota Imanaga on Tuesday, their immediate need for help at the top (or mid, depending how you view Imanaga) has lessened but there are still question marks surrounding the North Siders' rotation, which would be helped enormously with the return of Stroman.

Two years, $37m with a 2026 vesting option for $18m. Not a bad deal, all considered.

I like Stro, but he's going to give up a lot of HR pitching in the Bronx. I wish him well.

It all depends on which version of Stroman shows up but he doesn't have much room for error being a right-handed pitcher in that stadium.
