The New York Yankees are trying to trade right-hander Marcus Stroman this offseason and are willing to pay down his $18 million salary in 2025 to make it happen, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman. The Yankees would love to trade Stroman so that they could add an infielder. While the Yankees have talked about trading for San Diego Padres infielder Luis Arraez, nothing is close on that front. Signing free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman or trading for St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado might not be in the cards, either, but free-agent infielder Jorge Polanco could be a possibility. If they cannot trade Stroman, they'd still have money to sign someone like Brendan Rodgers or Paul DeJong. As things stand right now, DJ LeMahieu is the top option at the hot corner and will be given a chance to win the job in spring training.
