Yankees Have Shown Interest In Stroman, Bumgarner

By Mark Polishuk | June 9, 2019 at 7:56pm CDT

7:56pm: “The Yankees might not be enamored enough with Bumgarner to pay the necessary price,” MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand writes.  The potential return of Severino could also impact the Yankees’ deadline plans, though as one executive points out, it wouldn’t be surprising if Severino has some rust after his long layoff, so the Yankees might not have enough time before the deadline to evaluate if they can rely on him to be the rotation help they need.

11:28am: The Yankees are known to be looking into starting pitching options, and their explorations have included two of the arms most likely to be moved before the July 31st trade deadline.  According to the New York Post’s Ken Davidoff, the Yankees have been in touch with the Blue Jays about right-hander Marcus Stroman, and have also had scouts watching Madison Bumgarner’s outings for the Giants.

Virtually every aspect of the Yankees’ roster has been hit hard with injuries this season, with the rotation being no exception.  Luis Severino has yet to pitch this season and won’t be back until after the All-Star break, while James Paxton, C.C. Sabathia, and (just today) Domingo German have all spent time on the injured list.  Between these issues and some struggles at the back of their bullpen, Davidoff figures that the Yankees will prioritize pitching upgrades as the deadline approaches.

To this end, New York has undoubtedly done some preliminary evaluation (whether it’s scouting or direct conversations with rival front offices) about many pitchers beyond just Stroman and Bumgarner.  It remains to be seen if the Yankees’ inquiries represent due diligence or a genuinely strong interest, though these two pitchers naturally stand out due to their high-profile nature, and each would come with some interesting factors to consider before any deal is completed.

Stroman has bounced back nicely this season following an injury-plagued down year in 2018, and isn’t a rental piece, as he is under team control through the 2020 season.  While he’ll be in line for an arbitration raise on his $7.4MM salary for this season, Stroman will still bring a ton of value to any rotation if he keeps pitching at his current level.  If Stroman did end up in the pinstripes, this extra year of control would make him a natural candidate to replace the retiring Sabathia in next season’s rotation, and thus the Yankees would have one less item to address on their offseason to-do list.

That said, Toronto will demand a big return for Stroman’s services.  MLBTR’s Connor Byrne recently explored the Stroman trade market, with the Yankees cited as one of a whopping 22 teams who could be plausible fits for the right-hander — Stroman’s extra year of control makes him a target even for clubs like the White Sox, Diamondbacks, or Reds, who might not be contenders this season but are looking ahead to 2020.

Though the Blue Jays and Yankees are division rivals, the two teams combined for a high-profile pitching swap last summer when J.A. Happ was dealt to New York for Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney.  Since Happ was a pending free agent at the time of that trade, and is over eight and a half years older than Stroman, the Jays figure to ask for quite a bit more from the Yankees in trade talks this summer.

Bumgarner’s situation is quite a bit different, as the former World Series MVP is a pure rental, headed to free agency after the season.  Many of the same teams looking to acquire Stroman will also be in the hunt for Bumgarner (as Connor outlined in another post), though even with only two-plus months and potential postseason innings on offer, the Giants are likely to aim high in their trade demands.  With so many of their other high-priced veterans struggling, battling injuries, or limited by full or partial no-trade clauses, Bumgarner represents San Francisco’s best chance of adding some solid prospects as the team looks to get younger.

Bumgarner himself has some no-trade protection, with the ability to block trades to eight teams.  The Yankees are one of the teams on that list, though this doesn’t mean that the southpaw would necessarily reject a potential trade to the Bronx, but rather that Bumgarner was simply giving himself some extra leverage (perhaps in the form of a cash bonus to waive his clause) in the event that a trade offer emerged from one of those eight clubs.

        Why are you opposed to Frazier being in a package? The kid looks really good and was a top 50 prospect. He needs to get away from the Yankees so he can get a regular starting job unless he’s convinced them to keep him the starter with his performance in absence of Hicks and Stanton this year.

          Nothing against Frazier but the Tigers are looking for a hitter still in the minors who can come up mid season next year so basically 7 yrs of control. Frazier will almost be a free agent when the Tigers are ready to roll again.

        • SalaryCapMyth

          4 years ago

          I dont know that that’s true. The ETA for Mize, Manning, Perez and Paredes are all set to 2020. Having someone who is a little older, already productive and can lead the way is a good thing.

        • DarkSide830

          4 years ago

          in this era of cheap extentions, it would hardly be an issue. and theyll certianly be contending before he is a free agent.

        • Dustin Michels

          4 years ago

          Possibly just starting to be a contender when Frazier is close to free agency but so would Boyd as well but looking for a player(s) whose service time is more at the early stages as the Tigers start to contend is preferred.

        • Mediasavvy

          4 years ago

          Yeah, Frazier is a great player.. He’s hitting a home run every 12 at bats. and driving in runs every 4..12 at bats.. Yeah, he had a really bad day in RF, but his future is in left.

          He helped put the Yankees in 1st place. So why are people so eager to dump a potential all-star for aging pitchers on the downslide?

          Because Mad Bum isn’t that good anymore. Giants fans seem to want more because of what he did in the playoffs when he had elite stuff. That is no longer the case. In fact, I’d be shocked if they got a single top 100 prospect for him.

      NY doesn’t have any top 50 prospects right now but they do have some good ones so a trade will likely go down. I can bet Frazier will be part of the trade since he has power which the giants lack but he will be a throw in with one of their pitching prospects.

        I think Bums value isn’t all that high anyways. He’s a rental in the midst of another fairly mediocre year. The only way they’d have to give up something of that quality is if there’s a bidding war and they really want him.

          Bum stats are not that bad. He is no longer a ace but more of a #3 starter. There will be some kind of a bidding war for him. Frazier is looking more like a average outfielder.no longer a super star prospect. that is why they could package a pitching prospect which NY have a few in the low minors and Frazier to get him.

        • Yankeedynasty

    Life long Giants fan here. Bumgarner is still very very good. Although no longer 2010, 2012, 2014 Bumgarner, he’ll still be a great addition to any team looking to make a run in October.

    I’m looking forward to watching Bumgarner pitch again this postseason as I predict he will still be a absolute beast. Whichever team gets him won’t regret it. Other teams that pass however, will.

    He deserves a team with an actual offense that will score some runs. He’s also been the most underpaid starting pitcher, especially with his accomplishments. Still has never complained about his salary, makes me respect him even more.

    Go get Bum Yankees. You won’t regret it. Will Smith is a beast too FYI. Probably don’t need him though.

          I don’t watch a lot of Padres baseball but I have a decent knowledge of every team in the MLB. I was wondering… wouldn’t it be worth it to possibly sell Yates. They are a young team and Yates is 32. Sell him at a high price considering he’ll be the best on the market. If you don’t get what you want then let it be, but I think they could for sure add some nice prospects for him…. thoughts?

      I agree. Hate to see him go, but the Giants will be complete garbage for next few years. Lacking in talent and athleticism. Their last GM wrecked the Giants with horrible contracts. Brandon Crawford checked out completely after getting his money. Dude looks out of shape and can’t hit. Pretty much the entire team can’t hit.

      No reason to waste Bum’s remaining years and competitive spirit. I think he’s got another postseason miracle in him.

      Bum getting traded will send shockwaves throughout MLB. I can’t wait to see it even though the Giants will always be my team.

        It’s amazing how similar the stat lines of Happ and Bumgarner are despite the fact that Bum gets to pitch in the best pitcher’s park in baseball and Happ pitches in the NY bandbox.

        Enough of this Bumgarner is elite crap. He’s not. He hasn’t been recently. He won’t be tomorrow or the day after that.

    If Bum and Stro are really out there get everything–I mean really at least two prime players and have them pay every penny of Bum’s remaining salary. Cashman will pay if the G men hold out. Cashman is salivating to think the Yanks might get an All Star pitcher and a potential pinch hitter, in Bum,—anything less than the Creme de la creme and more should cause a revolt in San Fran or Toronto.
    You’ve got two outstanding pitchers on the market that competing teams don’t have to spend money on development for–time to redeem properly on your investment.

    I have a really hard time believing Stroman ends up a Yankee, it just seems so much more likely that Bumgarner ends up in pinstripes given New York’s attraction to big names, and MadBum likely will be the biggest of them all at this year’s deadline.

      Why didn’t the Yankees send Gio to the MLB and why let Dalls walk for another million.

      What makes you think this team is going to take on any more money? They showed their true colors this past off season when all the stuff should have been addressed.

    I wonder what the Giants would want for Smith because the Braves really need that kind of door closer. Normally I would say the Giants wont get a top 100 prospect for a relief pitcher that is going to give you 30 innings for the year and go into free agency but the market is really desperate. This is a good time for the Giants to sell their bullpen.

    “Virtually aspect of the Yankees’ roster has been hit hard with injuries this season, with the rotation being no exception.”

    It would be really cool if all media, not just this site, went back to using an editor instead of “writer writes piece and immediately hits publish” – I cannot believe all media reacted to twitter like this, by killing off jobs people trained for, just because twitter is more instantaneous. I wish went back to hearing about trades only when the clubs announced them, and not some jerkoff on twitter guessing right and taking credit.

    No disrespect to Stroman, but I’m not sure i’d give up much for him if i’m the Yankees. He’s a middle of the rotation starter at best, and that’s something the Yankees have. To give up Frazier or Garcia would be a mistake imo. The Yankees don’t have a ton of impact trade assets. Most of the talent in their system is in the lower minors. If they make a move they need to make sure they play it wisely.

    As for Madbum, he isn’t what he was but his name and post season pedigree will drive the cost up from what it maybe should be. I’d prefer Madbum to Stroman, all things being equal, but even here i’d be hesitant to overpay.

    I wouldn’t include Garcia in a trade for either. The kid may never pan out but he’s flashing front of the rotation ability and I just don’t think it’s wise to trade that for a rental, or middling starter with an extra year of control. Were we talking vintage Madbum then you pay what you have to, but he’s clearly not that guy right now.

      NY should trade Abreu instead of Garcia. Garcia stats show a quality starter. Abreu stats show a future reliever. His control stinks but Garcia is 3 years younger and has much more command on his pitches. Frazier

      If the Yankees feel they can compete for the World Series this year then go get Madison Bumgarner. His value for October alone is well worth it. Madison will give always give you 100%. October October October that’s what matters.

      You may have to overpay a little though. Other teams will/are definitely inquiring, therefore his value will rise.

    Blue Jays cannot do what they did with Happ last year and neglect pitching. It is a must in a Stroman deal.

    In my opinion Stroman is better than Paxson and should haul a touch more than what Seattle received. Stroman is AL East hardened which should not be overlooked when you mention Trevor Bauer’s name.

    Hopefully NY’s presence only pushes the Cards, Astros, Padres and others to pursue Stroman harder. I don’t think the Yankees have the best possible return for Toronto.

          2018 and 2019 he didn’t perform well in the majors. We’re ready for your excuse for that.

          And 2019 he’s done nothing in 2 starts in AAA.

          Plus he can’t seem to stay healthy or has pitched 90 innings in a season. So a team should take an underachieving pitcher with little durability? Yeah, sign me up!

If you read my other posts I did admit I’d probably have to have Frazier be the headliner I only said another trade idea with him as what I’d prefer but while doing so I’d also include other prospects worth more as secondary pieces than I would with Frazier as the headliner

Drury, McKinney, Grichuk, Teoscar Hernandez, Jackson, Hudson, Richard, etc… and now they’re in charge of trading actual MLB caliber players like Stroman, Sanchez, Giles and Smoak and they would consider trading them to a contender in their own division? Yankees prospects are also overhyped (see Drury and McKinney), and Cashman already fleeced Atkins for Happ. Plus Toronto is subsidizing Tulo for the Yanks to sit on their 60 day IL. Shapkins are going to set the Blue Jay’s back another 10 years and Ed Rogers just doesn’t seem to care. #DumpsterFire

    here we go again with Mr Cashman. Off season and past season failures to land a legit ace, mean several things.

    1. we will surely trade prospect assets for pen help (like Rutherford- who would have been a fine chip now…). this is because the pen has to pitch 6 innings a game and is toast by mid July.
    2. Rumors will fly about scherzer and others to no avail because that is what we the people want and Cash has no interest…
    3. here comes the parade of 2019 versions of lance Lynn, because that is what the people don’t want but Cash is willing to pay for
    4. it all ends in Houston in October when the yanks throw out happless against a Cole or verlander and britton and Ottavino are called in around the 3rd.

    Yankees
    Cardinals
    Padres
    Braves

    Yankees because of their need and Stroman thrives in pressure games and would make a passionate and dedicated Yankee.
    Cardinals actually have greatest need due to injuries and poor performance. Stroman’s athleticism, speed, hitting experience, pinch running, fielding ability make him tailor made for a NL team. He would thrive with the Cardinals and their incredible fan base.
    Padres for all the above same reasons and they have the best concentration of minor league pitching that the Jays covet.
    Braves due to all the above and Anthopoulis’ history with Stroman since he drafted him. Also, Braves are a close second in quality minor league pitching.

    I disagree calling Madbum a whiner. He plays the game with heart and passion and has no problem calling out players for their shenanigans. Look at his beef with Puig, even the LA fans couldn’t stand Puig for his antics, hence his trade to Cincy. Muncy hasn’t done enough in the league to show up Madbum. I’m surprised the league hasn’t made that young man pee in a bottle. I certainly thought Madbum would throw something high and tight during Muncy’s next couple at bats. Probably come during their next meeting.

      So does he call himself out when he bat flips? Or when you pumps his fists and celebrates? Your argument is a worthless double standard. I don’t have a problem with Bum chirping, yeah whatever let him chirp, but come on how many times and counting has he started or potentially started a fight that he has no interest in involving himself in. The old hold me back bro actions. It gets old, his “antics” are old. Finally if you don’t think Muncy has been drug tested numerous times, your head is in a cloud. Much the same as this old defending MadBum for being the sole judge and jury of “acceptable” antics. It’s all kind of a joke tbh.

        Typical dodger fan response. It’s not up to Madbum to call himself out, it’s up to the opposing pitcher or ball club. Of course he has done things that have crossed the line, and I was one of the first fans to post my displeasure. That’s part of the game. You have your head in the sand if you don’t think Muncy and many others are juicing! Why do you think they just broke the record for home runs in the first half of a season? Hunter Pence indicated that last year in his good bye speech when he asked, “what do you get when you squeeze an orange?” His response, “juice!” He then promptly said the Giants organization has always played the game clean! As far as Muncy, here’s a dude that was released by the Oakland organization because he couldn’t hit. He sits out a year to be coached by his father. Then he comes back and miraculously becomes a home run hitter? Give me a break,,,,

          You cannot be seriously saying that the giants are a clean team?!?! That is hilarious the team of Barroid bonds. The original player who stood in the batters box and admired his juiced up homers. Wow. You listen to Kruk and kuip way too much. Deal in the real world dude. Giants saying they play clean is like Madonna saying she’s a virgin. Funny af you are

          Give me a break, no it’s just about not being a hypocritical d bag. And that’s the thing, Muncy did nothing wrong beyond crushing a ball that Bum completely missed location on. Again I have no issue with Bum chirping. Let him chirp, it’s the other crap around it I have a problem with. We’ve seen this movie before, and it continues to get old. So as a Dodgers fan, I’m glad there are no childish blowups like this.

          Ahh yes the old fall back response that everyone else is cheating, because our outdated development system has floundered. It’s not like the Giants have been proficient at supplementing their old core with young talent. Fans act as though it’s a substantial feat for a guy with gobs of power, who was an advance college bat with a tremendous feel for the strike zone, to figure it out after a swing change. That’s essentially the beauty of the game, not every prospect or big leaguer figures it out right away especially if your getting sporadic playing time. But sure let’s go with your explanation, the Giants are victims, hitters are always static and can never improve. If you’d like to blame Muncy and all the Dodgers for cheating go ahead. I know this may be a crazy idea, but maybe just maybe, the Dodgers and other teams are just doing a better job identifying skill sets and developing them. Other wise, I’m saddened to hear that Pence is now taking steroids after his sudden offensive explosion in Texas. This is moronic to spend any more time on this. To be honest this sounds entirely like sour grapes, not acknowledging the faults of the Giants.

          Bumgarner is all bark and no bite, and he gets his panties in a bunch at the drop of a hat. Muncy didn’t even show him up. His pettiness is perfect for Northern California, and that is where he should stay. He is just a punk and a complete whiner. Hell, he was whiny on the previous at-bat over a pitch that was clearly a ball.

          He was whining during the first at-bat.

    But they wind up with nobody.

    Best is when he said the Yankees are like a death star. More like a dead bulb.

    I think MadBum in a change of scenery, could have more than we realize left in his tank. If you’re looking to win it all this year, he may be their best option.

      Shapkins will realize nothing of value in trading these stars. Add in Smoak, too. Drury, McKinney, etc… that’s the caliber of player the Jays have received as part of the worst “rebuild” in MLB history; the Jays have been set back at least another ten years by their incompetent front office. Bring back AA! And stop apologizing for the dumpster fire on the field. Jays will be lucky to win 60 games this year and next.

        I don’t want AA back. Only made those moves as a last-ditch effort at a contract extension. The first thing that needs to be done is finding a buyer with guts for glory. So long as Rogers owns the squad they will be a second-rate franchise.

        Although an unpopular move I would bring in Shapiro’s old boss John Hart. He wasn’t implicated in the Braves scandal but he assembled that team for AA to reap the rewards. Hart assembled Cleveland in the 90’s and didn’t have a bad run in Texas. He knows how to spend and how to develop. And since Shapiro’s not going anywhere, he’d be the best fit.

          How on earth are Edwin Jackson and Clayton Richard seen as pieces in a rebuild? Meanwhile Edwin Encarnacion just belted homer 400, only the 56th major leaguer to reach that number! Could have provided some protection for Vladdy Jr. Where’s Kendrys Morales now?

          Charles I’m with you on Edwin and Clayton. This goes to show why they screwed up the last couple years; no pitchers in the Happ trade, not trading Smoak last year and not trading Donaldson two years ago (I wanted things stripped in 2017 after the awful decisions in 16-17 offseason). All that lead to today.

          I saw Vlad was not DH’ing yesterday against a lefty but Sogard was. No reason for that to ever happen. Glad Atkins got that extension!

        • Charles Kime

          And who did Atkins get for Josh Donaldson, Dwight Smith and others? Nobody with MLB upside, right? Draft picks? Bag of balls?

          Charles you’re killing me! We are in-agreement. Now I’m just bitter revisiting the stupidity of the Donaldson situation.

    How common is it for a player to take cash to waive a no trade clause? Are the terms public? Which team pays?

    Can someone tell me why they didn’t go sign a FA SP for cash in the off season as I mentioned a ton of times? Now they are looking for rotation help and most likely trade prospects away when they could have just used cash.

    Please don’t tell me their rotation was fine before all the injuries because it’s wasn’t

    Do you just get the feeling Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson are going to embarrass the Blue Jays front office even more this season as they go on rampant runs to the World Series with their respective teams? #FireShapkins

    GMs of Yankees, Red Sox, Rays and Orioles all approve of Atkins getting an extension. If they could fleece the Jays for Stroman, Giles, Smoak and Sanchez, all the better! E3 can torment Shapkins now more often as a Yankee as well! Where is Kendry Morales? Steve Pearce?
