New York Yankees starting pitcher Marcus Stroman has been involved in several MLB trade rumors this offseason. Entering the second season of his two-year, $37 million contract with New York, Stroman unperformed in 2024 after being an All-Star with the Chicago Cubs in 2023.
Posting a 4.31 ERA in 30 games (29 starts) last season, Stroman had his worst ERA+ (95) since his injury-riddled 2018 campaign with the Toronto Blue Jays. With New York expected to boast a starting rotation that includes Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, Luis Gil and Clark Schmidt, Stroman could be the odd-man out this offseason.
Amid the growing trade buzz surrounding him, Stroman made the decision to unfollow the Yankees on Instagram and remove every post on his page.
“TRENDING: Marcus Stroman has unfollowed the Yankees on Instagram and removed all traces of them from his profile,” TheYanksCenter reported on Instagram. “It looks like he’s ready to move on. The Yankees are reportedly working hard to trade him, so we’ll see what unfolds.”
The speculation around Stroman has only been growing, as former Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin made a post on X about the two-time All-Star pitcher.
“I think it’s safe to say we may be getting some Marcus Stroman news very soon,” Maybin wrote.
