Is there more\u00a0unspoken drama afoot?\u00a0This wouldn&#8217;t be the first example of the Yankees minimizing such things, after all.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Or &#8230; are they being extra cautious with a potential asset as they prepare for a trade? And, if so, what changed between\u00a0Stroman starting the spring training\u00a0opener against the Rays and the dawn of a new week?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Could the shift have involved the man who followed him to the mound, a more cost-effective No. 6 starter who also might be hitting a pitching crescendo?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Yankees rookie Will Warren somehow subtracted 1.2 bWAR in just 22 2\/3 innings last season, serving up mid-velocity meatballs at an impressive rate. During Friday&#8217;s action, though, he displayed a renewed high-velocity sweeper that had Stuff+ fans crooning,\u00a0&#8220;Will Warren, I was unaware\u00a0of your game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Whether Stroman is on the roster or not, you know Warren will end up serving as essential MLB depth. Clarke Schmidt&#8217;s already balky back will not be the end of the Yankees&#8217; injury setbacks in the rotation this year. He&#8217;ll be needed regardless. Still, though, Stroman &#8220;staying back in Tampa&#8221; to throw live BP rather than starting against the Twins on Tuesday certainly feels like something, and it&#8217;s not inconceivable that Warren&#8217;s two sterling innings had a little something to do with it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Maybe Stroman&#8217;s being kept out of the rain. Or maybe the Yankees are getting closer to an uncomfortable crunch here.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1894116212713329015&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fyanksgoyard.com%2Fwill-warren-spring-debut-might-have-just-sealed-a-yankees-marcus-stroman-trade&amp;sessionId=938726776756a298839d4e05f0815a710307e9a1&amp;siteScreenName=YanksGoYardFS&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1894116212713329015\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Did Will Warren&#8217;s emergence lead to Yankees sophomore surpassing Marcus Stroman in pecking order?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">And somehow, Stroman hanging back\u00a0isn&#8217;t even the most peculiar story of the Yankees&#8217; day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Thus far, pitching depth has carried the team in the first week of camp. Though pitchers typically do report to camp ahead of the pace of the offense, this was always the grand plan, and the Yankees&#8217; depth chart is dotted with unexpected dashes of pitching talent (from Michael Arias\u00a0to Sean Boyle to JT Brubaker).<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Yankees will be able to survive with or without Stroman in a depth role. In fact, they&#8217;re hoping to survive without him. Actually executing such a thing is the tough part, though Monday&#8217;s news gave a glint of hope that something intriguing was actually on the horizon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Yankees Photo Day | New York Yankees\/GettyImages All of a sudden, the New York Yankees have a desire to keep Marcus Stroman out of game&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28964,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SHOCKING: Will Warren\u2019s Electric Spring Debut Could Force Yankees into Blockbuster Marcus Stroman Trade!
