2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 2023 season was a tale of two halves for Stroman. The 32-year-old made his second All-Star team on the strength of a first half which saw him collect a 2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 98:41 K:BB over 112.2 innings. In the second half, Stroman missed six weeks with hip and rib injuries and posted an 8.63 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB over 24 frames. Undaunted by his poor finish, Stroman opted out of the one year and $21 million remaining on his contract with the Cubs to pursue free agency. Although there have been some curvy roads along the way, Stroman has been rock-solid on the whole over the last three seasons in holding a 3.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 396:132 K:BB across 454.1 innings. He's not going to help you in strikeouts, but Stroman remains an elite groundball guy and usually avoids the barrel. He should be a solid floor play in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Struggles in Milwaukee
Stroman pitched four innings, giving up four runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four in Sunday's 15-5 win over the Brewers. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Stroman was able to survive four scoreless frames to open Sunday's outing before the wheels fell off in the bottom of the fifth. He allowed all five batters he faced in the inning to reach base, including a three-run home run by Jake Bauers, which knotted the game up at 4-4. The 32-year-old has now surrendered five total homers over his last four starts after not giving one up in either of his first two outings in 2024. Stroman now owns a 3.69 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 32 strikeouts over 31.2 innings in six starts this season, and he's tentatively set to return to the mound Friday home for a matchup against the Tigers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Received offers from Giants, Padres
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Stroman received contract offers from the Giants and Padres before he ultimately signed with the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
San Francisco apparently made offers of two and three years, while San Diego had a longer offer with a lower annual salary. Stroman wasn't fully intrigued by either team and signed with the Yankees on a two-year, $37 million pact in January. The right-hander has pitched well through four starts with a 2.42 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 22.1 innings.

After making 33 starts the previous year, a bout with COVID-19 and a shoulder issue limited Stroman to just 25 starts and 138.2 innings last season. His 14.6% K-BB% was in sync with his past few campaigns. However, for the first time in his career, Stroman yielded more than a homer per nine frames, albeit just a tad at 1.04 HR/9. Stroman performed much worse at home, sporting a 5.18 ERA and 1.32 WHIP at Wrigley Field as compared to 2.06/1.00 away from Waveland Avenue. This is likely just noise, but streaming Stroman at home last season backfired. The catch is Stroman's low 21% strikeout rate is best utilized in a streaming capacity, especially in leagues with an innings or starts limit where the strikeout category is essentially K/9. Stroman's low dominance, heavy groundball approach is usually effective, but he's subject to more variance than most hurlers, adding risk to his role as a ratio stabilizer.
