The Yankees announced Friday that they’ve released veteran right-hander Marcus Stroman. New York also formally added deadline acquisitions Camilo Doval, David Bednar, Jake Bird and Jose Caballero to the active roster.
Stroman, 34, is midway through the second season of a two-year, $37MM contract. By releasing him, the Yankees are committing to eating the remaining $5.61MM in what’s now dead money. They’ll remain on the hook for that sum, minus the prorated league minimum for any time Stroman spends on the major league roster or injured list with another team.
A knee injury sidelined Stroman for nearly two months, from mid-April to mid-June. He pitched poorly prior to landing on the shelf (12 runs in 9 1/3 innings) but has been better since returning, tossing 29 2/3 frames with a 4.55 ERA. Stroman’s 14.8% strikeout in that time is perilously low, but he’s shown good command (7% walk rate) and kept 48% of his opponents’ batted balls on the ground.
Stroman’s contract contained a vesting provision for an $18MM player option for the 2026 season, but that option was contingent upon him pitching 140 innings during the 2025 season. He’s only at 39 innings on the year due to that lengthy injury absence, so even if the Yankees had held onto him, there was no way he’d have unlocked the option.
The Yankees recently gave prospect Cam Schlittler his major league debut and are seemingly more comfortable moving forward with the flamethrowing young righty in the rotation than the veteran Stroman. Manager Aaron Boone’s staff will now include Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, Will Warren and Schlittler. Reigning AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil is on a minor league rehab assignment after missing the entire season to date with a lat strain. He’s made four minor league starts, so he’s presumably on the cusp of rejoining the staff in the near future.
Though he’s clearly not the quality mid-rotation arm he was from 2014-23, when he pitched more than 1300 innings of 3.65 ERA ball between the Blue Jays, Mets and Cubs, Stroman started 29 games and logged a 4.31 ERA for the Yankees as recently as 2024. There aren’t many options for clubs in need of pitching depth to add it post-deadline, so Stroman ought to latch on with a new organization before too long.
Whoa what happened here?
He’s been awful. Not a mystery.
Yeah but for a team paying him $18M and thin at SP, figured they’d have held him.
Any AAA pitcher could be doing what Stroman has done. He doesn’t provide length either. With the new trade deadline relievers, the Yankees would rather play a bullpen game piggybacking off upside young starters like Gil, Warren, and Schlitter. Stroman has no value to the team.
They need the roster spot, and he ain’t accepting a Triple-A assignment. So….
Future Twin.
He has a player option for next year too
He needs to pitch 101 more innings this season for that option to vest….
Why, would he sign there? No chance at the playoffs.
He still wants everyday opportunities to earn a contract next winter. MIN may be able to offer that to him with a long leash as they’re not concerned with wins at this point.
Stroman’s an innings eater. He ain’t making any playoff rosters….
Player option only kicks in if he throws 140 innings this season He’s at 39 now. No way he gets there.
He’ll sign wherever they want him, unless he’s ready to retire. Given that the Yankees released him, surely they offered to trade him, eating a huge portion of his contract. Nobody bit on that, so the market doesn’t look that broad.
It won’t vest.
Stymeedone
Minnesota or Atlanta?
He could pitch 101 innings in 8 weeks. Get started today !
I would guess Brave..
Doesn’t matter he definitely is going there though. He should go to the Phillies, Reds, or the Red Sox. 🤦♂️
The Dodgers, Phillies, Reds, Brewers, and the Red Sox make a lot more sense then the Twins truthfully.
He prefers the term innings nibbler.
Uhhh, 12 starts of 8 innings is 96. Math no worky.
Probably a future Brave!
He’s a bit of a cancer. Atlanta usually avoids those types, so I’d be surprised.
Braves will want him to eat innings
We’ll see, but I’d be surprised.
It’s a quick joke – not serious.
Twins are up for sale, hence they shipped out a bunch of controllable players and let Correa waive his no-trade clause to go back to Houston.
lol not even the Braves take a flyer on him. We can lose games without having him pitch.
No, he doesn’t. He has a vesting option that won’t vest (140 innings needed this year), read the article.
I’ve posted many times over the years regarding Stroman. I am not a fan.
Leaving that aside, I’m puzzled – no DFA?
Just an outright release, like he’s Cleon Jones or something.
Does anyone have a reason why they just drop him “like 2nd period French”?? Besides the usual “because he’s terrible”
If he is awful, why would you hold him?
Oriole? Diamondback? Brave?
Why would any of those teams start someone worse than their current choices? Dodgers traded away a better starter. To the Red Sox.
It’s a vesting option if he got to 140 innings this season, which he won’t.
I like watching Schlitter, kids got 3 plus pitches he can get swords on; even if the location is a “hittable” strike. He’s that nasty. I think this is the right move both short and long term.
It will never happen but suppose he signs with the Twins and magically earns next year’s trigger by pitching amazingly. Does that mean the Twins have a tradeable commodity with the Yankees financially on the hook?
Innings Snacker TM
Yes, with about 50 games remaining in the regular season, he could get the ball ten times, pitch complete games every time and still not make it.
For him to pitch 3 innings and give up at least 6 runs?
Yeah but dewey he would have to pitch everyday to make that happen. Stro’s arm would probably fall off. Lol. I thought Stro the Astro was a lot more fitting.
Hey, I didn’t say he’s getting results; I simply think there’s enough there that it makes sense to give him some rope for the rest of the year. Kid obviously has a high ceiling.
Based on innings pitched. He’ll never get there though. Unless he pitches everyday.
No way they are signing him right now though, but yes the type of reclamation project the Twins usually go after each year.
Stro the Astro.
Thumbs down.
Boston will try to fix him and take a flyer given ownership’s M.O.
He got paid regardless.
You may find that Doval is less mature than Stroman.
Ahahahahahahaha!
how did this get 12 likes? are we serious?
The Marlins introduced Bird, Bednar and Doval to their first loss as a Yankee. What an epic blow up, to be a Yankee fan and to be watching that game must have been an epic bummer. Ahahahahahahahahaha!
He’s not good and is a clubhouse cancer
Stroman has been a stand-up teammate. The young players are always hanging out with him.
your second sentence – that could be a good thing, or that could be a bad thing, right?
Nothing but good things to say about him in the clubhouse with the Cubs. Never heard a complaint from a team or player about him in the clubhouse.
that’s why he’s bad mouthed every team he’s played for….
not by his teammates
He’s a big-time bellyacher. The world done him wrong, don’t you see?
Sunny must not like the uppity types
@dump
I’m sure that went over the majority of the heads here, but good one.
Sunny
Stroman was well liked in clubhouse during Cubs and Yankees tenure. Not so much with Mets and Jays when he was younger.
Stroman is a great volunteer in the community.
Stroman is now the quality of starter than you might call up for a spot start and store in AAA. We will see if that role suits him or he is done.
he’s bad mouthed every team he’s played for.
@sunny
big difference Bergen being a disgruntled ex employee and a clubhouse cancer.
Yeah but the whole Astro team is a cancer already. It would be perfect for him to a T.
Yes he is and the team knew better than to sign him but were desperate. $37 Mil to the Stroman fund for 0.4 War over two years. smh. They were warned.
GO SOX!! YANKEES FANS CURSED SINCE OLD YANKEE STADIUM WAS TORN DOWN
Boston forever……..
You mean like winning the WS the first year in the new stadium? 🤦🏻♂️
Stroman and the whole package that is him happened. Kinda saw this coming when they brought the kids up.
Stroman has a higher career WAR than Tyler Glasnow and Jordan Montgomery combined.
He is a two time all-star and a former gold glove winner. Might be at the end of the road though.
And Stephen Strasburg has roughly 50% more than Stroman. He is not retired and I’m sure the nationals would love to get his contract off the books..
They got rid of a bust.
I’m sure I could google it but how much are the Yankees paying players not to play for them this year and does it surpass the pirates or a’s team total?
Braves will get him.
Twins
Ok, so either the current or former Minnesota team
Braves were never a Minnesota team. They were in Milwaukee and Boston, but never Minnesota.
Ill take the Seattle pilots for 500 Bob
@LaFleur – Not sure if you are joking or not, but the Pilots became the Brewers after their first season. The Braves were not involved in any way.
Welcome to Atlanta
That’s one open spot for Yankees. Who’s next to go? I guess there were no takers yesterday. Bye-bye should have been gone in Spring Training
A Stroman, Carrasco, Fedde 1-2-3 is just what they need to go on a miracle run to reach the wild card.
Or have the highest odds for the draft lottery.
Sooooooooo, you’re saying there’s a chance
Can those 3 hit? Cause Atlanta can’t.
Must’ve missed last nights game….
I was thinking Philly.
Good call
I’ll bet he’s a Cub Soon…
Then he’ll get hurt
Unlikely. Left on sketchy terms.
Let’s go Cherington, do SOMETHING ffs.
The Twins kinda just traded 1/2 their roster… Maybe they could use him for the rest of the season.
Yeah the Twins would be a great fit. He would have a starting spot there and pitching in a nice pitchers park for the minimum. A chance to have a good second half and help his next contract.
Not for the minimum. He will get paid according to his contract with the Yankees.
The Twins would be paying him a pro-rated minimum salary.
The Yankees will be paying for all but the league minimum the next team will have to pay. This would be a good opportunity for both the Minnesota Twins and Stroman as they finish out 2025.
He won’t make it past the orioles
If he was released, then he can sign anywhere he wants.
This is… shocking. He was not the greatest teammate, yelling at gleyber last year, but he has pitched ok. With Luis Gil coming back, this is surprising given how young cam schlitler is. I was thinking he was gonna get traded yesterday. This is very interesting. To those of you saying “welcome to atlanta”, you aren’t wrong 😂
I think they indeed tried to trade him but had no takers.
KidWhoWatches: Not shocking at all. They need the roster spot for one of the new guys.
Well, yeah. Stroman is not a nice teammate. He is not a good pitcher and is expensive. He is not worth it
Rizzo chewed out Higgy in the dugout in plainsight when he forgot the number of outs behind the plate. Holding someone accountable is not indicative of a bad teammate. Wells could’ve used some tough-love when he was caught off secondbase a few games ago.
Not shocking, YBC… David Wells always makes it to seconds at every meal.
Honestly, Stroman wouldn’t have had to chew out Gleyber if Boone would have done his job……
I wonder what Boone’s convo with Volpe are like right now. Maybe just a pat on the back after each error.
Who will pay $16 mil player option for 2026 which he will certaily pick up now?
He won’t reach the IP requirement.
It is $18 mil and he already went over 140 innings in 2024 which the otion was contingent upon.
No it’s not. It’s 140 in 2025 I know. Listen to me because I know what I’m talking about.
Here’s how I know I’m right. I’ve never been wrong ever. Secondly they released him, if he was owed 18 million next year they wouldn’t have released him.
B-R has a typo listing it for 2024, but the actual option is based on 2025 innings.
That’s wrong
Who’s wrong?
We’re off the hook he had to reach the threshold in 25,you’re right the other guy is wrong
that actually makes more sense then.
fangrah says t is 2025.
@ThatsIT
” if he was owed 18 million next year they wouldn’t have released him.”
DJ may disagree with you.
Hows he pitching another 100 innings?
Even if it was possible for him to hit the innings requirement in the contract, it wouldn’t apply anymore. Once the Yankees released him and ate the money for this season, that option is no applicable because the next team he signs with will be a DIFFERENT contract. The new team will not be taking on his old contract or any of the options involved with it. That contract is 100% dead as of now other than the rest of his salary to be paid out.
If he had the innings done and they dropped him they would have to pay.
Yes that is true. If the option has been reached before the contract is terminated, then the option is still in play. But if he ended up a third of an inning or more short before the termination, then it would be dead no matter how many innings he pitches from now until the end of the year.
Looks like they’ll eat the money for next year too? 18MM player option?
He’s gotta get to 140 innings this year so no he doesn’t have a player option anymore
140 innings in 2024.
This thread on IP is as dysfunctional as the Yanks OF trying to collar a flyball in Toronto: “we’ve got a live one skip! What do we do?”- Cody to Dominguez
bref has it as 140 innings in 2024, which he cleared.
Try using a site that’s right. Or just ask me since I know.
B-R is a typo.
B-Ref is wrong. The player option was contingent on 2025 innings totals.
or you could try replying with some actual decorum?
thanks Steve
he could reply with decorum, but he doesnt have to or owe you to. Also you dont have to reply back with sarcasm which could be viewed as not having decorum.
just saying.
“not having decorum”. A literary gem…
No!
The option requires him to hit an innings goal, which became impossible after he was DL’d for a couple months.
according to bref it was contingent on him reaching 140 innings in 2024, which he did.
Cot’s has the innings listed as a 2025 requirement. He’s not owed anything.
He needs to get to 140 IP. He’s at 39. It’s possible–and you could see a bad team picking him up and giving him the 100 if he wanted it, but he’d need 17 starts at 6 IP a start.
Not possible at all with 2 months left for 17 starts. Durable pitchers get 31-34 starts a season on 6 months.
If someone picks him up and he is effective he may see 10 or 11 starts and 65-70 innings
It is possible but not likely. Did you see that herculean effort from Sabathia a while back. That man was going on 3 day rest for a couple of weeks and going complete games. That man was a legend.
10-20 years ago I would have agreed. Not in today’s game though.
Yes Sabathia was absolutely a legend. Great all round competitor
Start now, just pause for meals and short restroom breaks. Just keep theowin, no yappin- Boom! 140 IP, easy peasy
Wouldn’t matter if he pitched 200 innings for a new team. He would be signing a NEW contract with a new team. They are not picking up his old contract. Any option that was not yet reached in his old contract is now dead since the Yankees released him and ate the money.
Did you not read the article before commenting ?
Obviously that information wasn’t in the article when the comment was made. It was during your bedtime in Australia.
Stroman had one last opportunity to show something yesterday and turned what should have been a blowout into a close game. I suspect his time in MLB is coming to an end soon
Stroman was pulled after the long rain delay. Rays never threatened the rest of the game.
Yes, but a game that was 7-0 should have never been remotely close
Might be a good depth pickup for the Padres’ 40 man roster given the loss of starter depth with Kolek and Bergert going to KC
Stroman isn’t signing a minor league contract to be stashed away as depth. The Braves, Orioles, and Twins all need innings to get through the rest of the season, same could be said for the Diamondbacks and White Sox. Not sure if anyone actually signs him but the price is right so there may be an opportunity somewhere
Probably not, but it’ll be telling whether he actually cares about winning by signing a humble contract with a contender vs. signing with a losing team to solely focus on rebuilding market value
Stroman is all about himself. If he prioritized winning he would have went to the bullpen like the Yankees asked him too
Like it or not most are
Because the best ball players are the “humble” ones?
No, those with 6+ ERAs should be though
Correct.
Well it’s doubtful a winning team will bring him on, so it’s most likely going to be a losing team. And maybe he still likes to play? I’d rather pitch for a losing team in the majors than not at all.
They picked up sears and Cortes at the deadline and replaced those arms
Height Doesn’t Measure Ineffectiveness.
Hey! I have those cables!
The over/under is .5 days before Stroman badmouths the Yankee org.
He’s out of the rotten apple and off a pretender. Not sure what he has to complain about.
Change days to hours and I’d still contemplate the Under, Ray!
I will bet on the over, after he agrees with another team.
Interesting. I guess with Gil returning, they parted ways with Stroman and need his roster spot.
Good. Cut the deadweight. DJL, Stro, and Peraza. Hopefully, Oswaldo too even though I like him.
The Yankees sure seem to pay a lot of players to go away. ARod, Hicks, Stroman, DJLM and I’m sure I’m forgetting someone. Sometimes I don’t blame Hal for closing the purse strings.
Josh Donaldson… and Kei Igawa.
Ellsbury
Volpe.
Man Igawa was a total waste. They really reached there.
That was when the Yankees were on a foreign arms race since there was no league spending restrictions then. Yeah, he and the scouting dept. failed on Igawa.
Igawa was also nearly 20 years ago.
Don’t forget Hideki “Fat Toad” Irabu (RIP)
They don’t need to cut Oswaldo rn ybc. He’s not taking a 40 man spot.
Probably not bad to keep around if he were a better clubhouse guy. But he’s not, so it is.
Was he outright released? Or DFA’d first ?
Well, DFA’d into a straight release. They know they can’t trade him and they obviously don’t want him lingering in the Org.
Given his unconditional release. No DFA.
Chucky’s right, no DFA! My bad
Awful signing before putting pen to paper.
Stro will prob get a chance to get a career back from the Orioles. Someone has to pitch for them.
Nobody is going to take him right now, not with 50 games remaining the teams driving for the playoff are pretty well set with their pitching staff, and the teams who have thrown in the towel for 2025 are mainly going to use these last 50 games or so to check out their AA and AAA pitching just to see what they have for 2026. Stroman best shot for another shot at the MLB is sign on as a non-roster pitch next Spring..
Nah, some teams (like the Orioles) have so many injured pitchers they don’t have any depth left. He will get signed.
Nah. Teams don’t want to rush their prospects. Some AAA levels will get a look see, but just like Atlanta adding Fedde and Carrasco, there’s will be opportunities for MLB fillers. No prospect will get rushed and have their clock to FA start, if they aren’t ready.
seems a little hasty considering we need an innings eater.
I’d be lying if I said I feel bad for him.
Don’t lie to the internet.
-Dad
Hoyer special incoming
Yes absolutely I would expect Hoyer to be all over this one, as long as the Cubs brain trust thinks his problem is fixable whatever it is.
It is not trust. It is crust.
Stroman was well liked in Chicago until he griped to the media about not getting an extension. shortly thereafter he was injured and went from an ace to a dud. So, while he’s an ok guy, but not a chance in a thousand he has a Wrigley reunion. He was liked in clubhouse but he brined his bridges with the owner and FO.
He was well liked until people got to know him. Chronic complainer, world done him wrong.
His problem is his fastball is now in the high 80s.
Welcome to the Minnesota Twins. Eh, who am I kidding…they’re too cheap to even pay someone league minimum.
League requires they roster 26. They may not like it, but they have no choice.
Goes to Houston. Astroman.
Clever, what you did there, but no thanks.
Age, attitude, and ineffectiveness say that Stroman might want to take advantage of whatever opportunity is offered to him because there won’t be many more
Gil and Yarbrough returning, basically no room .
Now who are the Yankees going to trade for every other team’s best player!
Clint Frazier!
Miguel Andujar!
Chance Adams can fetch any star they want.
Any of the killer B’s! Brackman, Betances, or Banuelos!
Looks like lotsa bullpen games ahead.
Stroman made his money….LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN💸
The Red Sox have only one question… will you play 1b???
If he was available yesterday the Sox would not have needed to waste 2 prospects on May. Stroman would probably get about the same results.
Breslow on line 2.
Future Barves innings eater with Fedde and Cookie, welcome aboard!
Seems like a waste that they didn’t flip him yesterday for some minor league lotto ticket
Nobody wanted him or they would have. Today, they can have him for nothing and keep their prospect.
Who would want a 6ERA for whatevers remaining on the $18 million AND give up a prospect to do it?
You act like they didn’t try lol. They were able to trade Pereza.
Too bad Stanton has $98 million left. He is another one that should be dumped. He gets a hand nail and he is out for a month.
Stanton is raking now at 134 OPS+. Maybe the Red Sox will take him to play 1B.
He also hit 8 HR in July. Did you know that Stanton was the MVP of the ALCS last year and the best player in the AL playoffs on a team with Judge and Soto on it. Crazy!
Yup far underperformed the contract. Too many injuries
Thats not particularly relevant to his current value on their roster though. He’s been more than solid at the plate since he’s come back. Iirc the yearly salaries taper down on the back end of the deal too so while there may come a day when they need to cut bait its not right now.
Agreed. Why I say far underperformed is due to all the injuries. Huge sum of money with all that shelf time. Generally he has still been good when not hurt
Salary goes down plus the Marlins are paying 10 mil a year for the last three years of the contract.
He has been one of their best hitters lol.
Yes on a whole 100 or so ABs for the season
2024 ALCS MVP.
Angels? Can’t be any worse than Kochanowicz.
Had to be done, he’s been terrible. There will be other SP’s dropped like this should we need anyway.
Seeya!
Honestly Stroman stinks
Twins might pick him up. They need bodies…
Let’s go Jays pick him up. Low risk/low cost move that may turn out to be beneficial. And he has always said he liked pitching there.
Give him a couple game look at least and if it’s not working let him go
That bridge burned a long time ago…
Keep him for batting practice
He could wind up pitching for the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League. They play about twenty minutes away from where he grew up.
That sounds nice, until you realize that living in Long Island is likely what gave Stroman PTSD.
IYKYK
welcome to Boston,,,, yankees fans this is your curse
WRONG: The Yankees fans’ curse is Aaron Boone!
Word Clip! I can’t believe that he is weathering dropping 12 games in the standings to Toronto. the best thing we could do is fire that clown.
The countdown to Stroman ripping the Yankees on social media and troll fighting with fans has begun…
can the rays work their magic and prop him up for a year .. and then trick a team into giving up some assets at next years deadline ? ?
Finally gets to go to San Francisco after so many near chances
Remember the primadonna stated that he was not a relief pitcher! So he forced the Yankees hand.
Old Loose Cannon Stroman wears out his welcome again.
No go Stro show. Sacramento:o)
Kinda shocked. Not like, overall, but the timing is odd. He was rebuilding value and had a few good outings for them leading up to this. I guess it’s like others said- couldn’t get a decent trade return lined up, couldn’t dump the remaining money on another club, he was refusing an outright assignment, he’s already mentally checked out and difficult to work with…
I wonder who will take a flier on him and hope they can squeeze a year or two out of him before he once again blames the club for his problems and forces a split between player and team?
Marcus Stroman would make an awfully nice pick-up for the Twins POST Fire Sale. League minimum and still having a pulse. Not bad for a team that still has open 26 and 40 man roster spots post trade arson.
Braves probably sign him.
Braves need to though. They need guys just to eat innings and not burn young arms prematurely and not completely tax our bullpen. The state our rotation is in, he’s a good pickup
Unfortunately you are right about the Braves. They need anyone to give them innings just so they can finish the year. But even if the pitching was healthy the batters have most underperformed anyway.
Braves have to 100% go get him
Ego and attitude don’t top ability. Dude never figured that out.
Love the name, Zim was a really good friend of mine. I miss him so much. One of the realest people one could ever meet. His wife total sweetheart as well.
Wonder what he’s going to say about his former team this time….
Austin Slater likely next week will get DFA’d when Judge is back
Judge will be strictly DH when he comes off the IL. Slater is a utilityman OF/1B/PH/DH.
Yes, but now they have Rosario and Cabairello. So one of the offensive players needs to go
If he would accept a bullpen roll I would use him in the playoffs. I think he would be good for one or two innings.
“role”
Thank you
It’s the Stro Show baby!!!!
Stroman was never a fit for the Yankees. He NEEDS quality defense behind him to be reasonably effective.
There is no doubt his “abrasiveness” is a factor but he is a useful player who will compete (if not succeed) right to the end.
He will help the right team if he is smart enough to make the correct choice, now that money is not a factor.
Cubs could still use an SP. perhaps a change of (or return to) scenery would do him good.
Good. My 9 year-old son is a Yankees fan and a baseball player. I told him that Stroman had been released and he had this to say:
“On my team, I start and relieve. I do whatever my Coach wants me to do. Marcus Stroman is a jerk because he thinks he’s too good to pitch in relief”.
A kid said that. This goes to show that Stroman is not just performing poorly but even kids can see that his attitude is poor. Good call by the Yankees.
Or it goes to show he’s quite good at parroting what the old man has been saying. Either way, deserves a trip to DQ
No. My kid is literate. He reads and educates himself on what is happening. Looks like you could try it yourself.
Hahahaha. What a fine father he has in you, when the idea of “literate” amounts to doing a character assassination on a message board. Hamsters have more brains.
When he was drafted they thought he was destined for the bullpen. They thought he would be good at it. Compared him to another short reliever. He needs to get control of that chip on his shoulder. I am a Jays fan I have a soft spot for him. Maybe he needs to not get picked up and left to sit and think for a bit.
Future brave in 2 ,1. :p
Japan!!
Naw, there’s always the mandatory stop in Pittsburgh before heading to Asia.
Basically a pitching version of Rafael devers.
Can we finally get Stroman on the Stros? lol
If they had kept JP Sears they would not have been in the mess they created
Welcome to Detroit
Soon to be the Angels new Ace!
Poor Stro Me!
Red Sox have to be interested.
Colorado are always looking for guys to throw the long ball!
On a high note…….. he can start his journey to beat Edwin Jackson’s teams played for record!
Turns out, after tonight’s game, Bednar, Bird and Doval aren’t any better than Stroman. In fact, they might actually be worse! 🤡
I must say it was a horrible debut. And That they were pitching in Miami and not in the Bronx you’d have thought there was lot less pressure.
It was an early case of Full Moon Fever in the majors. Buccos scored 9 in the 1st inning in Denver only to have the Rockies walk it off.
And yes, loanDepot Park was filled on Friday night with expat Yankee fans who stayed all the way through a 4-hour epic.
It’s ok, Chuck. We’re used to cave ins
Best part is, on the next broadcast we’ll be treated to non stop raves about exit velocities, as if this latest cave in never happened
Yes, Jackson did move a lot remember years ago when he came up for free agency along with a couple pictures from Tampa shield,Matz and they were all asking for ridiculously large contract and settled for less than half of what they were looking for.
AA just woke up and started salivating… welcome to the braves
He has lost the fire within. He is done with baseball even if he signs elsewhere. It happens. Now he can take the remainder of the earnings and put them in almost zero risk securities and live grandly off the interest alone.
Come on Angels!
Boston might kick the tires and put Dustin May in the bullpen….Stroman even with his struggles Im sure is better than Walker Buehler in the 4th inning this year. Fans expected more so FO might give him a try.
Red Sox- then Breslow can say that he actually made a move to “bolster” the team down the stretch- and didn’t have to deal any minor league talent to get him.
Ivy league smarts in full display.
We need innings, maybe my Braves
Anthopoulos did draft him.
Can this finally be the end of Stroman?
when’s his first start for the Braves?
Hopefully never Gabe! He will probably have to go pitch in the Asia leagues now. Evidently his size does matter too him!
Would Stro back to the Jays and work out of the pen as a long man work?
Good riddance …. Here’s praying that no MLB teams sign this guy ever again.
Horrible pitcher, even worse teammate.
Cashman decisions becoming more and more pathetic. How about releasing him.
When he has been healthy, could usually count on him to start every five games and win about 8-10 times a season.
Welcome to Baltimore Mr. Stroman!
He behaves like someone with CTE
Sports are weird in that you can spare $5.61 million dollars.
Surprised that no one has signed him yet. I thought for sure the Braves would get him just to eat innings, not caring if he wins or loses.
