Aaron Boone knows it’s a bad look like Marcus Stroman has skipped the first two workouts in the field for jugs and catchers at Yankees Spring training this week.

The boss said Thursday that he wants to have Stroman in the camp and see how this can add noise around the role of stroma And the rumors that have swirled.

But Boone claims that this will not change the straw preparedness – on and outside the field – for the rest of the camp and eventually the regular season.

He also pointed out that Stroman is within his rights to be a no-show. Not all players are required by the current collective bargaining agreement to participate in training sessions until February 22.

“I had an idea when we talked that he might be out for the first couple of days, but nothing changed with what I told you about how I feel where he is, mentally and physically,” said Boone Thursday. “I really get what it looks like with the noise around it this winter. The reality is that this is something that is under CBA (rules) and you see it (used) over time. “

Stroman reported to camp with the rest of his teammates on Tuesday, but has not been back since then. Boone did not specify why Stroman has skipped training. He wants the start button to speak for himself when he arrives. Although Boone insisted that this has nothing to do with Stroman’s place on Yankee’s deep diagram and the possibility that he (and his expensive $ 18 million for this season) could be moved before opening day. He does not believe that it is a result of the jug’s dissatisfaction with the organization.

“This is a guy who has been an outstanding jug in this league for a long time with a lot of pride,” Boone said. “I don’t know any Animus between him and I and I am safe and comfortable that he is ready to come in here and do his job at a high level.”

Boone has previously repeated that Stroman can still be a valuable piece within Yankees’ pitching personnel 2025, but unless anyone gets injured, he will not fact in the rotation. He is currently Yankees’ No. 6 start after Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Luis Gil, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt.

“Of course, I want all our players here clearly,” Boone said. “As I said, I am comfortable again with where he is, physically, mentally. It is a proud player, it is a guy who has had a fantastic career where it is a bit of an awkward situation obviously. Of course, I want him here and I try to continue to push him to come here. But again, you must also respect the fact that this is something that players may do. There is a mandatory date, and he is choosing it right now. “

When asked if Boone believes this may be a question in Yankee’s clubhouse as spring training continues, Boone said that he plans to pay a lot of attention to it.

“Stro is a guy who was an integral part of not only between the lines, but in the room last year, and I think built some really strong relationships in the room he has earned,” he said. “Hopefully it will continue. We take up things we need. “
