Overview

• Stroman landed on the injured list in April with knee inflammation and posted a 6.23 ERA in six starts upon returning.
• He originally signed a two-year, $37 million contract before the 2024 season that included an $18 million vesting option.
• His only public response to the release was an Instagram story showing him on a private jet with the caption “Adios.”
• With his contract voided, Stroman is now a free agent and is expected to draw interest as veteran pitching depth at a prorated league minimum.
• The Yankees’ reinforced rotation and trade deadline bullpen acquisitions diminished the need for his services and prompted his release.
