Marcus Stroman’s Yankees desire confirmed after ugly clubhouse scene

Marcus Stroman made no secret of wanting to play in New York. It seems that did not apply to the Mets.

After the Blue Jays’ win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, reporters heard a commotion while standing outside the clubhouse waiting to go in for postgame interviews. Breaking with long-standing norms, the Blue Jays didn’t open their clubhouse to the media, per reporters on the scene. When pressed on the issue, they told reporters, “there’s a reason it’s closed,” per Yahoo’s Nick Ashbourne.

The reason seems to be Stroman. A source told The Post’s Mike Puma that Stroman reacted with disappointment that he had not been traded to a contender.
