For Yankee fans and Marcus Stroman, it is still a parasocial, or a one-way relationship, but we have, in a way, moved past the social media stage.
After the Yankees opted not to trade for him during the 2019 deadline, and Brian Cashman branded him afterwards as "not a difference-maker", he expressed schadenfreude online, when the Yankees failed in the postseason.
Many of his provocative posts have been deleted since signing with the Yankees. His X account is now more professionally presented, with reposts from the Yankees' official accounts, and content about his charity, the HDMH (Height Doesn't Measure Heart) Foundation.
Now a month into the season, things have gone remarkably well for this once seemingly unlikely partnership. Going into Sunday's game, he has a 2.94 ERA, surrendering three runs or fewer in four out of his five starts.
