NextImg:Yankees release Oscar Gonzalez with Marcus Stroman signing official

Marcus Stroman is officially a Yankee.

The team announced Wednesday the two-year contract the right-hander signed to join their starting rotation, a deal worth $37 million, according to sources.

To make room on the 40-man roster for Stroman, outfielder Oscar Gonzalez was designated for assignment.

The Yankees claimed Gonzalez, 26, off waivers from Cleveland in December and have since added Juan Soto, Trent Grisham and Alex Verdugo to their outfield mix.

The 32-year-old Stroman will join a rotation led by Gerrit Cole, but with plenty of question marks behind him.

    Of the pitchers on their current roster, outside of Cole and now Stroman, only Clarke Schmidt broke the 100-inning mark last season, as Carlos Rodon and Nestor Cortes were both plagued by injuries.

    Luis Severino has since signed with the Mets and the Yankees also lost pitching depth in the trade to land Soto and Grisham, which cost them Michael King, Jhony Brito and Randy Vasquez, who all saw time in The Bronx last season.

    The Yankees tried to sign top Japanese free agent Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but the right-hander went to the Dodgers.

    That left available pitchers like Blake Snell, who would have cost much more than Stroman, and Jordan Montgomery, whom the Yankees traded two years ago because they didn’t think he could succeed in the playoffs, on the free-agent market, in addition to Stroman.
