The New York Yankees' starting pitching depth has prompted speculation regarding a potential trade involving Marcus Stroman, who struggled towards the end of last season. A proposed deal with the Atlanta Braves would see the Yankees send Stroman along with cash to offset his salary in exchange for promising pitching prospect Cade Kuehler. Stroman enjoyed a strong start after joining the Yankees but faltered in the second half, ultimately not pitching in the playoffs. The Yankees have already bolstered their rotation by signing Max Fried, making Stroman the likely odd man out. Kuehler, a second-round draft pick in 2023, showcased his potential with a solid performance in Single-A, but his recent promotion to High-A ended poorly.
