re: DAT 7/5: Astros (Musgrove) @ Braves (Garcia), 6:35 CDT

Teams like the Cubs, Astros and Yankees are scouting Marcus Stroman right now in anticipation of him being available.

Buster Olney sez...

"The Cubs, the Astros, the Yankees all fit this category, who when they add a starting pitcher before the trade deadline, they want to not trade for rentals, someone who’s a free agent at the end of the year, but they’d rather focus on a controllable starter, someone that they can control beyond this year," he said. "And Marcus is not going to be eligible for free agency until after 2020 and so they’re definitely taking a look at him."
