New York Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman is among those directly affected by the recent Southern California wildfires. Stroman told reporters he lost his home in Malibu last month. The two-time All-Star urged fans to donate to charitable organizations.

Stroman said he’s given money to the Assistance League in recent weeks. “There’s a lot of people that are going through a lot out there right now,” Stroman said, according to the Yankees’ official website. “A lot of families from lower-income cities and towns that have lost completely everything.” Marcus Stroman discussed his offseason workout routine and shared he lost his home in Malibu in the California wildfires.

“I had a tough offseason,” Stroman said. The wildfires had a tremendous impact on the sports world beyond games being rescheduled or relocated. Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick lost the home he shared with his wife and two children. “Everything we owned that was of any importance to us, almost 20 years together as a couple and 10 years of parenting, was in that house,” Redick told reporters Jan. 10.

“There’s certain things that you can’t replace, that will never be replaced.” Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s childhood home burnt down. Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard briefly left the team to be with his family, who were forced to evacuate. “If you have anything in your heart to donate to those people, I think it’d be awesome,” Stroman said.
