The New York Yankees have ruled out a possibility for their $325 million slugger.
The New York Yankees have decided to keep Giancarlo Stanton on their roster for the 2024 season, despite his injury-plagued and underperforming recent years, as reported by Brendan Kuty of The Athletic. Stanton, who has a contract through 2027 with a significant $98 million remaining, has been a topic of discussion due to his high salary and declining performance. In 2023, he played in only 101 games, hitting .191 with 24 home runs and 60 RBIs, a stark contrast to his MVP season in 2017 with the Marlins. The decision to retain Stanton, who will turn 34 in November, reflects the Yankees' hope that he can return to form and contribute effectively, especially with the team's need for power hitters. However, this choice also means the Yankees are committed to his large contract, potentially limiting their financial flexibility for other roster moves.
