I have nothing to go on other than my gut instincts to predict that this will be a disaster for the Yankees.  Stroman has been good for a long time, his statcast metrics don't look that impressive other than his ground ball rate and the amount of barrels he gives up.  

He's about to be 33, he's headed to New York, he's got a bit of an attitude problem and I can see this quickly going south.

I hope so, anyway.  Would love to see the Yankees waste more money.

It's a two year deal at a rate the O's could afford.  Not sure how it could make it to disaster level unless the fans literally riot.

I could've done some mental gymnastics to be happy if the Orioles added Stroman. But there are personality issues and concerns about him. That said, he's been a good pitcher in his career when healthy, including in the AL East. He's a good pitcher and purely as a player is a good addition to the Yankees' rotation. That said, he's also the type of player/personality that either thrives with the Yankees or he's the kind that struggles for a stretch and gets buried. We will see.

I'm surprised he got less than what was projected. MLBTrade Rumors had him pegged at 2 years, $44 million. While some were even saying 3 years, $60 million.

The starting pitcher market has been a bit strange. It seems like the consensus is that there is more demand than supply (which seems true). And that guys are getting more than we expected from teams. But there have been a lot of decent pitchers who have gotten less than they were projected to make. 

Sonny Gray, Shoto Imanaga, Marcus Stroman, Eduardo Rodriguez, Lucas Giolito, Kenta Maeda have all signed for less than MLBTradeRumors thought they would.

He's got a vesting option (140 innings in 2025) that takes it to 3/55.

      Saw an episode of The Compound today where Ian Happ was talking about how many players will play for the stats - in particular, defensive metrics or even just the way WAR is calculated based on positioning. He said some infielders know they have better range to their glove side, for instance, so they'll shade the other way. But the metric dings them because they position themselves in the "wrong" spot. And yet, they're going to be paid based on WAR, so then they might instead choose to go into the "right" position even though they know they'd be able to do better where they're more comfortable.  That was kinda stunning to me.  Another thing he mentioned was how a left fielder, like he is, will let a ball drop for a single for better WAR points. I will have to go back and listen again, but I'm pretty sure he was saying that he will be rated higher if he lets it drop than if he positioned himself so he could get there sooner to catch it.  Like, getting outs wasn't as important as getting credit for positioning in order to be paid more, since WAR is what's used to determine pay, and positioning is rated above catching the damn ball.  It was ludicrous.   The reason I'm adding this to this thread is talking about Cowser and how he is defensively.  I often wonder why he seems so reluctant to dive for a ball that you'd see Hays or Mullins dive for in a heartbeat.  Maybe this is part of it?

      It's hard to see the downside for the Cubs if they ask for the moon then keep Imanaga if nobody bites.

      No, but it will pain me to see him go. Extremely likeable player who's had big moments here.

      He might match up with Cole unless the Yankees get aggressive and pitch Cole on 4 days rest for the Wed game.

      He had a hot 21-game stretch to start the season and has been a terrible hitter since the last week in April. He's been a bad hitter a lot longer than he has been a good hitter. He's striking out 31% of the time and he's been basically a net zero with the bat for nearly 2 months.  That should not be beyond criticism, and the fact that it BLOWS YOUR MIND shows that it isn't difficult to do. His defense has been great but his OPS in May was .580 and his OPS in June is low .540's after today.
