MLB Stars at a Crucial Juncture: Who Will Rise from the Ashes and Who Will Fade Away?

MLB Stars at a Crucial Juncture: Who Will Rise from the Ashes and Who Will Fade Away?

Marcus Stroman, New York Yankees

Why we’re concerned: Remember when – a mere few weeks ago – it seemed like a foregone conclusion Stroman would be either traded or sent to the bullpen as the Yankees went with better rotation options? Things have changed in a hurry. With Luis Gil already sidelined for a couple months, news has followed that ace Gerrit Cole will have Tommy John surgery, potentially knocking him out until perhaps midway through the 2026 season.

Stroman seemingly went from excess to essential pretty quickly. Problem is, Stroman is coming off his worst season in the majors, which is why he’d fallen out of the club’s primary rotation plans during the offseason. For the first time in his career, Stroman posted a FIP north of 4.00 – he was at 4.62 – and a 4.31 ERA. His hits allowed per 9.0 innings jumped, as did his homers per 9.0 innings, while his strikeouts per 9.0 innings was his lowest ever for a season with more than 27.0 innings.
