What Yankees are saying about Marcus Stroman who could be traded soon

ExchangeBefore Opening Day, Marcus Stroman would enable the Yankees to reduce their payroll below the highest luxury tax threshold, freeing them funds to fix their roster’s remaining shortcomings.

For the upcoming season, Stroman owes $18 million. If he surpasses 140 innings this year, a vesting option will be triggered, earning him an additional $18 million in 2026. For a pitcher who is presently ranked sixth on the Yankees’ starting rotation depth chart, that is a significant price tag.
