Yankees Consider Trading Marcus Stroman Back to Blue Jays

The Yankees are reportedly exploring options to offload Stroman's $18 million salary, potentially sending him to Toronto for prospects.

Marcus Stroman, owed $18.3 million in 2025, is reportedly on the trade block as the Yankees aim to shed payroll and reshape their roster.
Stroman, who posted a 4.31 ERA in 2024, is seen as expendable due to the Yankees' deep rotation, bolstered by the recent addition of Max Fried.
Reports suggest the Yankees are considering a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, Stroman's former team, in exchange for two prospects, Kendry Rojas and Eddinson Paulino.
The Yankees previously attempted to include Stroman in a trade for Nolan Arenado, but the Cardinals declined due to his contract size.
Analysts note that finding a trade partner could be challenging unless the Yankees agree to absorb part of Stroman's salary or include additional assets.
