Comparing what was distributed, combined with Laureano’s earlier $5.15 million agreement, the total comes out to a little shy of $1 million more than what MLB TradeRumors projected.
I wouldn’t read anything into the agreements regarding the potential of future trades and extensions. However, it seems like pitching dominoes are mostly falling into place across MLB, so I wonder if it makes a Shane Bieber trade less likely.
The Yankees are reported to have signed Marcus Stroman.
Stroman deal with Yankees is two years, $37M with vesting option for a third year, source says. On it: @Joelsherman1. Pending physical.
