It’s becoming increasingly clear that Marcus Stroman’s time with the Yankees is running out. After signing a two-year deal last offseason, Stroman now finds himself as the odd man out, with general manager Brian Cashman looking to free up salary to make one final move in the infield. The biggest indicator? Stroman recently scrubbed the Yankees from his Instagram, a classic modern-day signal that a player is expecting a change of scenery.
The Yankees would love to offload all $18.5 million of his 2025 salary, but that’s a long shot. More than likely, they’ll have to eat a chunk of his salary to facilitate a trade or package him with a prospect to make the deal more appealing.
