The New York Yankees have had an eventful offseason, including the acquisition of starting pitcher Max Fried to join ace Gerrit Cole at the top of the rotation. Following Fried’s arrival, the Yankees traded Nestor Cortes Jr., but the starting rotation still feels crowded with six major league starters and a few top prospects vying for spots in 2025. To avoid losing someone for nothing, the Yankees may need to make another move.
Pete Caldera of Northjersey.com recently predicted that the Yankees would trade starting pitcher Marcus Stroman to the Toronto Blue Jays, a team he began his career with. “Looking to unload Marcus Stroman’s $18 million contract for 2025, GM Brian Cashman sends the right-hander back to the spending Blue Jays in exchange for two high-potential prospects,”
Marcus Stroman
Trading Stroman would be a smart financial move for the Yankees, freeing up money that could be used elsewhere. This move could help them pursue a stronger third baseman or bolster their bullpen.
For the Blue Jays, Stroman would provide experience and stability at the top of their rotation, as he returns to the team that drafted him. Could the Yankees pull the trigger on a trade? Would the Blue Jays be willing to bring Stroman back to Toronto?
