Part 5/8:
The Yankees are determining how best to manage their starting rotation, particularly as they now possess an abundance of talented arms. With new acquisitions, Stroman's role in the team seems marginal at best. There appears to be a strong desire to relieve themselves of his $8.5 million contract, especially when Stroman finds himself as the odd man out in a competitive pitching environment.
But why is it that no other team seems eager to address this salary? Teams often face a dilemma akin to making costly but unnecessary purchases that can be made elsewhere at a better value. While Stroman can be a solid addition to a rotation, his price tag makes him less attractive now that teams are eyeing budget-savings amidst ongoing market adjustments.
