The New York Yankees are still looking for starting pitching for the 2024 season and there’s a free agent out there volunteering his services, according to a report from Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Marcus Stroman! Yes, that Marcus Stroman. The report also says the Yankees declined to make an offer. Stacey and Steve discuss the history between the Yankees and Stroman, who have a beef dating back to 2019 when Brian Cashman said some not-so-nice things about Stroman during the trade deadline, which caused Stroman to become disenchanted with the Yankees (which is understandable), so why the sudden change of heart from Stroman? Stacey and Steve go through some of his stats just like they do with every other free agent and try to figure out where Stroman would fit into the Yankees’ rotation, and they wonder if it’s worth it for the Yankees to offer him a deal. Then, the Yankees’ coaching staff is finalized with the hiring of assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler, who replaces Brad Wilkerson. Stacey and Steve tell you everything you need to know about the latest addition to the Yankees’ dugout.
