The veteran right-hander entered camp (after skipping the first two days of workouts for pitchers and catchers) facing uncertainty about his role, though he made it clear he is a starter and will not pitch out of the bullpen.
The Yankees spent the offseason trying to trade him, as he is owed $18 million and is the projected No. 6 starter if everyone stays healthy, but Stroman insists he is not concerned about the noise surrounding him.
