Giancarlo Stanton Unlikely To Be Traded
11 months agoThe Athletic's Chris Kirschner believes that New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is essentially untradeable. Since the 2022 All-Star break, Stanton has hit .182/.268/.400 with 31 home runs and an 84 wRC+ in 549 plate appearances. He's owed over $98 million over the next four years and has a full no-trade clause. Not many teams will be rushing to trade for that kind of salary given Stanton's high injury risk. He has one of the worst contracts in the game. The only way the Yankees might be able to deal him is by paying a sizeable portion of the money he's owed while also attaching prospects. Another thing going against Stanton is that since 2022, he has hit .175/.258/.337 with only eight home runs and 77 strikeouts against fastballs 95 mph or harder.
