The New York Yankees have extra beginning pitchers than they know what to do with. Gerrit Cole is the staff’s ace and he is joined by free-agent acquisition Max Fried on the high of the rotation. After buying and selling Nester Cortes to the Milwaukee Brewers, New York rounds out the rotation with Clark Schmidt, Luis Gil, Carlos Rodon, and Marcus Stroman.

Add within the truth the Yankees have a couple of high pitching prospects who’re big-league prepared and it turns into clear the Bronx Bombers must unload one in all their main league starters in a commerce.

Austin Owens of FanSided just lately predicted the Yankees would commerce Stroman again to the Toronto Blue Jays the place the righty started his massive league profession.

“Now that we’re rapidly approaching Spring Coaching, the Blue Jays must make strikes in the event that they need to compete in a really robust American League East division,” Owens wrote. “The Orioles, Yankees, and Pink Sox have all made massive splashes this offseason whereas the Blue Jays have remained idle. Buying Stroman can be an enormous danger for the Toronto Blue Jays however it’s not that unlikely at this level contemplating how determined they might be for enchancment.”

The Blue Jays must make a transfer and the Yankees can be higher off unloading almost $20 million off their books.

Toronto may use an additional starter, particularly one with expertise like Stroman has. After spending the primary six years of his massive league profession in Toronto, Stroman may be very acquainted with the Blue Jays, as they’re with him.

Stroman was a wholesome scratch from the Yankees’ World Sequence roster in 2024, so there’s actually no use in conserving him on their loaded roster. If the Bronx Bombers can get off his contract and add a prospect or two, they might be in a a lot better place.
