There's a little more than meets the eye with the much-maligned now-former Yankee.
Every so often, there's a player who catches the ire of New York Yankees fans and can't seem to stop getting flak. Up until recently, that player was Marcus Stroman. With performance that could be extremely variable, and availability that was sometimes questionable, Stroman had become an easy target.
While it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the Yankees would add a starter at the trade deadline in light of Clarke Schmidt's torn UCL, they actually subtracted one with Stroman's release .
