According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Marcus Stroman drew a a lot of interest in the offseason, but he could be more likely to be traded this summer despite his current injury. Why is that? We explain here.

With his left knee still barking, Stroman is unlikely to reach the 140-inning mark that would have automatically locked in his $18 million player option for 2026. That looming salary scared teams off over the winter when the Yankees explored potential trade scenarios last winter.

A New York Yankees trade idea has them acquiring a star shortstop from the Toronto Blue Jays after dealing with significant infield injuries.
