Yankees exploring trade for Marcus Stroman to cut costs and reduce luxury tax burden.

The New York Yankees are exploring trade options for starting pitcher Marcus Stroman to cut costs and reduce their luxury tax burden. Stroman, on a two-year, $37 million deal, had mixed results in 2022, with a 4.31 ERA. Trading him could save the team over $35 million in 2025 and potentially $27-$37 million in 2026. Despite some fan support for keeping him, the Yankees aim to reallocate funds to other areas, such as acquiring a left-handed reliever and an infielder.
