Marcus Stroman Signs with New York Yankees

Veteran Pitcher Expected to Bolster Yankees' Rotation with Ground Ball Pitching Style

Marcus Stroman, a veteran right-handed pitcher, has signed with the New York Yankees, marking his second tenure in New York after previously playing for the Mets.
Stroman, known for his strong personality and ability to handle pressure, is expected to bolster the Yankees' rotation, which includes Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortez, Carlos Rodon and Clarke Schmidt.
Stroman's performance in the 2023 season with the Chicago Cubs earned him his second All-Star appearance.
Stroman's ground ball pitching style could benefit from the Yankees' infield defense, which led the American League with a .704 defensive efficiency in the previous season.
Stroman's signing is a two-year, $37 million deal with the Yankees.
