Yankees Urged to Make $37 Million Decision After Losing Streak
Yankees Urged to Make $37 Million Decision After Losing Streak originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Considering their status as a first-place team with legitimate championship hopes, most conversations involving the New York Yankees and the trade deadline focus on who the Bronx Bombers will add before July 31.

However, some discuss who the Yankees could subtract, and embattled starting pitcher Marcus Stroman's name typically pops up.
Stroman, who has been on the injured list since mid-April with a knee injury, isn't helping his cause. The two-time All-Star allowed three runs (two earned) over 3 1/3 innings in a rehab start for Double-A Somerset on Wednesday.
Yankees fans already had issues with Stroman, whose two seasons in pinstripes have featured inconsistency and public feuds with management over his role. Wednesday's start, one that came during the big-league club's embarrassing six-game losing streak, only incensed fans further.
'He's going to get smoked if those are the numbers he is running with the kids,' one X/Twitter user wrote.
Added another: 'They better send this dude packing to somewhere else. Horrible contract.'

Stroman has allowed four runs (three earned) and walked three in 6 2/3 minor-league innings.
'Just what the Yankees need in a historic offensive slump,' read one comment, 'one of the worst pitchers in the league.'
Stroman, who is in the second season of a two-year, $37 million contract, gave up 12 runs over 9 1/3 innings before his knee injury. It is unclear if he'll rejoin the Yankees' rotation or move to the bullpen after his rehab stint.

Stroman turned heads in spring training when he initially refused to pitch out of the bullpen. However, he cracked the Opening Day rotation after injuries to various teammates.

One fan begged: 'Get this man away from my baseball organization 😭😭😭'
Stroman can hit free agency this winter, and we don't expect him to ink an extension with the Yankees anytime soon.
