Marcus Stroman seems to be embracing Yankees’ consideration despite past beef

The Yankees are at least considering a union with Marcus Stroman, a veteran with experience as a solid, middle-of-the-rotation option and with experience in exchanging jabs with Brian Cashman.

The discord between the two dates back to the 2019 trade deadline, when then-Blue Jay Stroman was dealt to the Mets.

In the aftermath, Cashman told Yahoo Sports that he did not seek out Stroman because he was not a “difference-maker” and because the righty would be in the Yankees’ bullpen in the postseason.

Since 2019, Stroman has been an All-Star twice, has pitched to a 3.38 ERA in 638 ²/3 innings (the 33rd-most in baseball in the span despite sitting out the 2020 season) and generally has been a reliable option for the Blue Jays, Mets and Cubs.

He might be trending the wrong direction — injuries have kept him from reaching 140 innings in the past two seasons — but he is among the most dependable free agents out there. His style, too — inducing a heavy dose of ground balls primarily through a heavy sinker — lends itself to pitching in The Bronx.
