Confirmed deal : MLB rumors: Yankees potentially trading Marcus Stroman gets intriguing update

 

 

The New York Yankees have started spring training and the drama is already starting. Marcus Stroman did not show up to the first two days of camp amid trade rumors. But he showed up on Friday and confidently said he was a starter and would not pitch in the bullpen. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal was on Foul Territory TV and spoke about the Yankees and a potential Marcus Stroman trade.

 

 

“I don’t expect he’s going to be a Yankee on opening day with all of the pitching injuries that are inevitable in this sport before that day comes. There’s going to be some team that the Yankees can offload him to and maybe create some room to get another infielder,” Rosenthal said.

 

 

The infield is the biggest position of need for the Bombers, specifically third base. After Gleyber Torres left for the Detroit Tigers, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is headed back to second base. That leaves a hole at the hot corner with a few internal options to fill it. Nolan Arenado is the last big name on the trade market that can fill that hole.

But for the Yankees to fit Arenado under the luxury tax threshold, they need to trade Stroman. Which teams are the best fits?
