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

To take that problem missing bats issue one step further: Stroman’s whiff+ in 2023 was 86, well below the league average (100), and that plummeted to 71 in 2024. Not exactly what the Yankees were hoping for. And that’s almost certainly one of the reasons the Yankees reportedly are still interested in trading Stroman, even with the loss of Cole and Gil. It’s not what you’d call a vote of confidence, and the Yankees don’t have a cavalcade of teams lining up to trade for the veteran right-hander.

Bottoming out or bouncing back? Stroman, who turns 34 in May, had an odd season. At times, he was very good. For example, in 10 of his 29 starts last year, Stroman lasted at least 5.0 innings and allowed zero or one earned runs. On the other hand, he had nine starts with four or more earned runs allowed and he failed to last even 4.0 innings in four of his final nine starts to the season. Stroman has made a career of beating expectations, but the challenge this season feels pretty daunting.
