Stanton is signed through 2027 so if he could somehow stay healthy (I know, very big if, especially since he's hurt now), he could get to 500. He's hit 31, 24 and 27 home runs the last 3 seasons with around 450 plate appearances each year. I agree I'd take the under, though. However, if he did get to 500, it would certainly be interesting to see how the BBWAA voters handled him since 500 home runs has always been considered a HoF lock without any PED connection.
