We’ve known for weeks now that Stroman is one of the starting pitchers the Yankees are interested in acquiring before the July 31st trade deadline. That still hasn’t changed but on Monday Blue Jays beat reporter Scott Mitchell tweeted out that New York could be interested in acquiring him in a package that also includes their closer, Ken Giles.
The Yankees already have one of the best bullpens in baseball so they don’t really need any help but there’s no such thing as having too many good relievers. Especially if injured All-Star Dellin Betances doesn’t return from injury at some point during the second half.
