Yankees Mailbag: Stroman's case and early schedule challenges
Briefly

The article discusses differing opinions on Marcus Stroman's value as a pitcher, highlighting that while he's not a top Cy Young candidate, he can serve as a solid backend rotation option for many teams. The author believes the Yankees' desire to offload him is more indicative of their internal needs than Stroman's skill set. The possibility of spring injuries creating a spot for Stroman is examined, yet the ongoing tensions suggest a likely separation between him and the Yankees is inevitable, especially given the public nature of their issues.
Stroman is a solid bottom of the rotation arm for nearly every team in the league and teams are desperate for starters at trade deadlines.
The Yankees' desire to clear Stroman's contract says more about them than it does about his value as a pitcher; he's a good asset.
There's a scenario where injuries in spring training may open opportunities for Stroman, but the Yankees and he are on a collision course to separate.
Once the tensions between Stroman and the Yankees become public, it's difficult for the relationship to recover or move forward.
