Latest On Giancarlo Stanton

By Mark Polishuk | October 15, 2019 at 11:50am CDT

Oct 15: Stanton is out the lineup once again for Game 3. Said manager Aaron Boone, as relayed in a tweet from MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch: “[Stanton] wants to play. But we’ve also had some real conversations about, you’ve got to be honest with where you’re at. I mean, there is an injury in there.”

Oct 13: Giancarlo Stanton isn’t in the Yankees’ lineup for Game 2 of the ALCS due to a quad strain, manager Aaron Boone told James Wagner of the New York Times (Twitter links) and other reporters.  Cameron Maybin will take Stanton’s spot in left field for tonight’s game.

Stanton suffered the injury while beating out an infield single in the second inning of Game 1, though it wasn’t serious enough for him to stop playing.  In fact, Stanton even homered in a later at-bat, before finally being replaced by Maybin prior to the bottom of the eighth (seemingly just for defensive purposes).  A post-game MRI, however, revealed the strain, hence Stanton’s absence from the lineup.  He could still potentially come off the bench to pinch-hit, or play in case of an emergency situation.  Boone was hopeful that the slugger would return to the starting nine at some point in the series, perhaps as early as Game 3 if Monday’s off-day provided enough time for Stanton to heal up.

2019 has already been an injury-marred season for Stanton, who played in only 18 games due to a variety of biceps, calf, shoulder, and knee problems, most notably a strained PCL in his right knee.  In the wake of such a year (not to mention Stanton’s lengthy injury history in past seasons), this day-to-day quad issue looms larger for him than it would for most other players.  To be fair, Boone could be engaging in a bit of gamesmanship against the Astros by not putting any sort of timeline on Stanton’s return, though it also could be that the Yankees themselves are being as cautious as possible with the outfielder’s status.  If Stanton is removed from the ALCS roster due to injury, he would be ineligible for the World Series if New York were to advance.

With Stanton sidelined, the Yankees have four outfielders (Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner, Aaron Hicks, and Maybin) remaining on their roster, with Hicks himself only just returning from a late-season elbow injury.

        Stanton smokes and jokes during pregame stretching while Gardner is locked in.
        Stanton’s core is so tight, he will continue to have these issues until something rips and his contract becomes the greatest cautionary tale in the history of big money sluggers.

    What exactly is his contract status? I read the Marlins signed him to a 13 year $325 million contract a couple years before he was traded to the Yanks. Someone on this site said that the Yanks actually extended him beyond that when they acquired him. This guy is pretty similar in age to Jason Heyward and was considered a less than prospect in comparison at the time. Obviously Stanton is way better then Heyward but I would assume it means they are at least close to the same age. Heyward has been bombed out and depleted for years now. How much longer do the Yanks have to pay Giancarlo $25 mill a year and how old is he now? I feel like whatever the answer is it is gonna be bad news. For a long time.

      The Marlins back loaded the contract, they knew they’d be trading him. Marlins are paying $30m for the rest of the deal, his base salaries are pretty ridiculous:
      2020 $26,000,000 (may opt out after this season, no way he does)
      2021 $29,000,000
      2022 $29,000,000

      Cashman is a complete joke. For a team that’s spends as much as the Yankees only to have 1 World Series championship in the last 17 years is pathetic. This year will be more of the same. I highly doubt they get past the Astros. Even if they do they have Scherzer/Strasburg/Corbin waiting to spank them and send them to bed without milk and cookies.

      Thank God Baer has no decisional baring on Baseball Ops anymore. Or at least enough to facilitate a trade for a big contract like this. Baer was even going heavy in on Harper.

      Glad Farhan makes the choices now. At least For now. We’ll see how he does. So far pretty good I’d say. !

      P.s I was heavy on Harper too. Knowing they needed a Heavy hitting three or four. But I maxed out at ten years if they were gonna do it. And I even knew that was about three years too long. . .

      There will always be some people who believe that a frequently injured player like Stanton, Cespedes, or Ellsbury or one who is diminished by age and injuries like Cabrera or Pujols who has a big, long contract is lazy or not keeping in shape or fragile or just cashing the checks and not trying. They haven’t played. They don’t know what it takes to be a major leaguer and what it may cost physically. It’s all conjecture and resentment on their part.

    Just read a Judge comment in the MLB game summary. Judge says the Yankees had the Astros on the ropes all night? Were we watching the same game?

    The Astros looked much better at the plate. Tons of line drive outs. Gurriel hit in especially tough luck. If Alvarez could even put the ball in play, this game wouldn’t have been that close.

    Yeah, the Yanks had a run thrown out at the plate. But no guarantee they would have scored that run, if he had been held. There were still two outs.

    Astros left a cumulative 22 runners on while the Yankees only left 12. Yanks got one swing from Judge and that was it.

    Good thing about 2019 was IT PROVED YANKEES DONT NEED STANTON. They had their best year in more than a decade, and they killed it WITHOUT STANTON. Bench him and bring Voit, great clutch hitter and he can make pitchers work a lot and draw some walks. Even at the end of the season during that wrong call “slump” he was hitting the ball hard. ENCARNACION & SANCHEZ will be the reason why Yankees will lose this series. Write my words. . It was a horrible idea to bench Voit, Also. WHY TO KEEP SABATHIA ? ONLY TO PICH 1 BATTER ?

    I fear Judge will turn into Giancarlo as he gets a bit older and those huge parts are exposed more and more. I certainly don’t WANT anything to happen to Judge, but I think he’ll end up getting screwed by the time he’s eligible for legitimate free agency because he’ll have a history of those constant oblique strains, etc. I hope not, as I’d love to see how he stacks up after a few more healthy seasons, but I’m worried for him.

      Judge’s problem is that he will be 31 when he becomes a FA. And, while he is a surprisingly good fielder, I’m not sure he can maintain that past 31. And since Stanton will be locked in at DH, I’m not sure the NYY will be inclined to pay up for him.
