According to multiple reports, there is mutual interest between the Yankees and Marcus Stroman, and Gio could not be more against the idea of Stroman returning to New York.
“Brian Cashman would be just absolutely stupid to bring that guy here,” Gio said. “He was a mess in New York. He was an absolute jerk. He was a terrible person in the clubhouse. He was part of that faction with Javy Baez doing the thumbs down. He fought with everybody.
“The guy is the pits. He sucks. He is sludge. He’s a slug.”
Gio didn’t like Stroman when he was with the Mets, and it’s safe to say that won’t change if Stroman is in pinstripes in 2024.
