Yankees, Marcus Stroman reportedly agree to deal as All-Star teases fans with picture in pinstripes
It seems like Marcus Stroman is headed back to the Big Apple.
Stroman was traded to the New York Mets in 2019 and played there until 2021, but reports have swirled that the pitcher was livid at the fact that he was traded to Queens rather than the Bronx Bombers.
Well, he finally got his wish.

Stroman has reportedly agreed to a deal with the New York Yankees.
SNY reports it is a two-year, $37 million pact with a vesting option for a third year.
The two sides began progressing on a deal in recent days, and Stroman himself all but confirmed he was a Yankee when he posted a picture of himself photoshopped into a Yankees jersey on his Instagram story.
Ironically, Stroman has been extremely critical of the Yankees and general manager Brian Cashman in the past, but perhaps that came from bitterness when Cashman said in 2019 that Stroman would not have been an impact pitcher for them down that season’s stretch.
But it seems the two sides have put their differences aside.
Stroman has spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Cubs. He was named an All-Star for the second time in his career last summer.
Stroman was one of the best pitchers in the first half of last year, pitching to a 2.28 ERA in his first 16 starts. But in his final 11, he allowed 35 earned runs in just 38.0 innings, which equates to an ERA of 8.29. That stretch skyrocketed his season ERA to 3.95, the third-worst of his career.

ESPN GAVE ACADEMY FAKE NAMES TO OBTAIN MORE EMMY AWARDS FOR INELIGIBLE ON-AIR TALENT: REPORT
Once tabbed as one of the game’s best, the Yanks’ starting rotation was a question mark heading into the off-season, even with defending AL Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole.
New York signed Carlos Rodon to a $162 million deal last year, as he was the best pitcher on the market. But he was a major disappointment, pitching to a 6.85 ERA in just 14 starts thanks to injuries. Plus, with Nestor Cortes’ injuries last year and seemingly a lack of depth after acquiring Juan Soto for pitching prospects, it really remains to be seen what will be of the staff.
The Yanks were red-hot in their chase for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, offering him a $300 million deal, but he agreed to more money with the Los Angeles Dodgers last month, which was a huge blow to the Yanks’ plans.
Although at their best, the rotation could be a force to be reckoned with.

Stroman owns a career 3.65 ERA in his career that began with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014. He does not have overpowering stuff, but his repertoire is one that produces weak contact and lots of ground balls, which is perfect for Yankee Stadium.

Tiger Woods was involved in a car crash on Jupiter Island in Florida on Friday, according to multiple reports.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office told ESPN that the crash happened on Jupiter Island. Woods’ condition was not immediately known.
Woods competed in the TGL championship earlier this week with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, and her daughter, Kai, in the stands. It was his return to competitive golf after rupturing his Achilles last year, just ahead of the Masters.

The 15-time major winner, five of which have come at Augusta, was noncommittal about playing at this year’s Masters. President Donald Trump said on “The Five” on Thursday that he would be at Augusta but not play.
Woods has had trouble behind the wheel in the past. In 2021, he got into a wreck that resulted in serious leg injuries that kept him off the golf course for months.

In just his second season at the helm, Curt Cignetti led Indiana to its first national championship.
During the Hoosiers’ title run, Cignetti became known for his demanding coaching style. Indiana opened spring practice Thursday, and incoming transfer wide receiver Nick Marsh got a crash course in what it means to play for Cignetti.
Marsh, who transferred from Michigan State, arrived at practice in gold cleats. After noting Marsh’s productive two-year stint in East Lansing, Cignetti pivoted to the wideout’s footwear.

“I didn’t love those gold shoes he came out in today,” Cignetti said. “He learned what getting your a– ripped is all about. I don’t know if that happened to him very often at Michigan State. That was before practice started.”

Cignetti added that the coaching staff has “more work to do with this group than the first two teams,” noting the group is still learning more about players the team will likely rely on next season.

Indiana went 16-0 en route to a thrilling win over Miami in the College Football Playoff national championship in January.
Cignetti framed his callout of Marsh’s cleats as an early message about expectations.
“That was a wake-up call,” Cignetti said of the receiver’s pre-practice cleats. “But he’s really worked hard, done a great job for us.”
