Stanton still needs 75 homers and he's 35 in a few months. I don't know that he has it in him. even if he hit 25 homers a year for the next three seasons and retired at 38, he'll probably finish with less than 2,000 career hits and will have a lower career average than Killebrew.
Don't see a HOFer there. Would be surprised to see a 500 homer guy too.
I also think his days are seriously numbered if the Yankees do find a way to re-sign Soto. Assuming their outfield next season lines up as Soto in left, with Chisholm back in the outfield splitting time in center and right with Dominguez, or one of them moves to right permanently, I can't imagine there's much incentive not to DH Judge.
