Marcus Stroman Reportedly ‘Expecting to Stay in Chicago’ Sans Extension

It’s been a pretty weird season for Marcus Stroman, who went from Cy Young frontrunner to a dude with a 9.00 ERA over his last eight starts. A number of fans sided with him when he publicly called the Cubs out for not engaging with him on extension talks because it seemed the erstwhile was as good as gone for what figured to be a significant deal in free agency. Between his subsequent poor performance and a lengthy stay on the IL, however, the value of that potential deal is dropping by the day.
