The Toronto Blue Jays are showing strong interest in trading for Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman.
They have remained tight ever since, and whenever the Blue Jays are in Los Angeles, Stroman and Stud make sure to connect. Stroman already has performed—quite convincingly—in one of Stud’s videos, “These Days,” and he raps on another Stud song, “Shine.” On the mound and in the studio, Stroman, one part pitcher, one part artist, is creating the type of cultural and diversified portfolio that will drive home baseball’s ties with its next generation of fans. The sauce is included in the mix.
Hip-hop artist Mike Stud is cruising to the airport, and we are talking sauce. Technically, we are talking music. Hip-hop, rap and his close buddy, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman. But, sauce.
Sauce is the secret ingredient, the “it” factor, the mix that puts a guy over the top. Stud and Stroman met at Duke University, where they made music together both on the baseball field (the hardball kind) and in the tiny closet of their apartment (the recorded kind).
The Cubs have yet to definitively declare themselves as buyers or sellers ahead of the August 1 deadline but there has been an overwhelming expectation that the team will sell as they shift their focus toward contending in 2024.
If that is the case, Stroman, who can opt out of his current contract this off-season, will inevitably be traded.
Stroman’s market is beginning to be defined as Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reported on Sunday that the Toronto Blue Jays and Cubs have had conversations about a potential deal.
