The New York Yankees are reportedly now the front-runners to sign free-agent starting pitcher Marcus Stroman.
MLB Network's Jon Morosi reported Wednesday that Stroman and the Yankees have had "productive discussions" recently, making New York the "top candidate" to secure him.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported Sunday that Stroman had reached out to the Yankees and told them he was "seriously interested" in signing with them, but the Yanks reportedly declined to make a contract offer at that time.
