Kuehler was selected in the second round of the 2023 MLB draft. The 22-year-old right-hander made it to A+ in 2024 as between A and A+, he went 3-6 with a 3.74 ERA in 12 starts. Kuehler would add to the Yankees prospect pool, and could also be used as a trade pitch in the future.<\/p>\n<p>In return, Atlanta would acquire Stroman who\u2019s in the final year of his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/15687\/marcus-stroman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">two-year $37 million deal<\/a>\u00a0he signed with the Yankees. The right-hander would be a fourth or fifth starter with the Braves. With the Yankees in 2024, he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/marcus-stroman-573186\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">went 10-9 with a 4.31 ERA in 30 games, including 29 starts<\/a>. Stroman is a two-time All-Star.<\/p>\n<h2>MLB Writer Likes Yankees\u2019 Return<\/h2>\n<p>New York\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/new-york-yankees\/insider-yankees-likely-trade-stroman\/\">has been shopping<\/a>\u00a0Stroman all offseason and Sanders\u2019 proposed deal has him being traded to the Braves.<\/p>\n<p>In return, the Yankees would acquire a right-handed pitching prospect, which Sanders says is about as good as New York can do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_nm8lnunba\">\u201cWith the 33-year-old now being somewhat expendable, adding an intriguing Kuehler is just about as good as they could probably do in this situation,\u201d Sanders wrote. \u201cHe was a second-round draft pick in the 2023 MLB draft from the Campbell Camels. He has a deep pitch mix with a solid fastball. Now, he is the No. 10 overall prospect in Atlanta\u2019s farm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nm8lnunba\">Sanders does wonder if the Yankees would want to acquire a right-handed pitching prospect given that is a depth of their system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_kdyxe1cfw\">\u201cAt worst, he is likely to become a solid back-end starter. Just, down the road when he would be more useful to New York. One issue is that the Yankees have a ton of right-handed pitching talent already at the top of their farm, so they might want to look for a different position of need. Kuehler would be solid value for Stroman, though,\u201d Sanders added.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_kdyxe1cfw\">However, a big part of the trade is New York simply getting off of Stroman\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n<h2 data-mm-id=\"_kdyxe1cfw\">New York GM Comments on Stroman<\/h2>\n<p>Stroman\u2019s name has come up in trade talks and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman isn\u2019t ruling out a trade before spring training.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yesnetwork.com\/video\/brian-cashman-on-the-yankees-offseason-upgrades?t=yankees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Yes Network<\/a>, Cashman was asked about a Stroman trade before camp and he said he would see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll see how it plays out,\u201d Cashman said.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees GM, however, says Stroman did pitch well for New York and the team let him down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were unable to convert many double plays that should have been converted last year, and that hurt him more than most\u2026 Ultimately, we as a team kind of let (Stroman) down with what we did behind him on his starts,\u201d Cashman added.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees pitchers will report to spring training on February 11.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Trade pitch has Yankees dealing Marcus Stroman to Atlanta.
