The Yankees are in a tricky spot with Marcus Stroman. They signed him last offseason to bolster their rotation, but one year later, his name started surfacing in trade rumors.
General manager Brian Cashman has been noncommittal about Stroman’s future in New York, and it’s clear the team is at least exploring ways to move some of his $18.5 million salary. Despite that, Stroman is in camp and preparing as if he’ll be a key part of the rotation, even though it feels like everyone is just waiting for the inevitable.
“Awkward” is how Aaron Boone described it.
