Yankees Release Struggling Pitcher Marcus Stroman

Marcus Stroman is now on the lookout for a new team.

The 2019 and 2023 All-Star was released by the Yankees on Friday, a day after the league’s trade deadline.

His release comes after New York added relievers David Bednar, Camilo Doval and Jake Bird before the deadline.

In his final start for the Yankees, Stroman allowed four runs and six hits with three strikeouts in a 7-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He allowed four runs in each of his past two appearances.

Stroman was an All-Star with the Mets (’21) and Cubs (’23) before coming to New York. The 34-year old joined the Yankees on a two-year, $37 million deal in January of 2024, but struggled in his two years in the Bronx.

He had a 4.69 ERA in 193.2 IP over his two-year stretch in New York.
