HKMIAMI (AP) — The New York Yankees released veteran right-hander Marcus Stroman on Friday, a day after making a flurry of moves at baseball’s trade deadline.
Stroman, who is in his 11th season in the majors, was cut ahead of the opener of a three-game series against the Miami Marlins and is owed about $5.7 million.
“Obviously, that was tough today,†Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "The perception around Stro for us, if you got to be around him the last couple of years, he’s an awesome competitor.â€
The Yankees acquired All-Star relievers David Bednar and Camilo Doval, as well as utilityman José Caballero in separate trades Thursday. New York also optioned right-handers Ian Hamilton and Yerry de los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room on the 26-man roster.
Stroman worth $37 million with New York before the start of last season and is owed $5,709,677 of his $18 million salary this year. Any team can sign him for a prorated share of the $760,000 minimum.
His contract included an $18 million conditional player option for 2026 that could have been exercised if he pitched 140 or more innings in 2025. Stroman pitched only 39 innings so far this season — he missed 2 1/2 months with left knee inflammation.
Boone said Stroman took the news of his release like “a pro.â€
“Had a good interaction with him," Boone said. "I feel he’ll be a guy I’ll stay in touch with for the rest of our lives. Appreciative of him.â€
Stroman made his ninth start of the season on Thursday, picking up the win after allowing four runs and six hits in five innings.
Stroman is 3-2 with a 6.23 ERA.
