The Yankees‘ offseason remains in a holding pattern when it comes to Marcus Stroman. General manager Brian Cashman didn’t offer much clarity when asked about a potential trade involving the veteran right-hander, simply stating, “We’ll see.” That kind of response isn’t exactly a denial—it’s more of an indication that something could happen, but the Yankees are waiting for the right opportunity.
The Salary Dump Factor
Stroman’s contract remains the biggest obstacle. He’s set to earn $18.5 million in 2025, and with the Yankees trying to dip below the $301 million fourth luxury tax threshold, moving off some of that money would go a long way.
