Did this happen??? If so I am not a fan! While I like Stanton I thought the Yankees were done with these ridiculous bloated long-term contracts not one has proven to be smart in the past.

I've hated their guts since I was a 9 year old suburban NYC kid rooting for any National League team that played them in their annual trip to the World Series. During the season I adored guys like Frank Lary and Camilo Pascual who could get the best of them.
It's torture to live in the NYC area and have to put up with the seeming constant coverage they get on the media, especially the radio (WFAN). I pay Sirius just to have an out when it gets too heavy. This deal? That lineup needs Stanton like Carter needs liver pills. But what do I know? Zilch I guess. That said, their team and system look super loaded and I'm prepared for some suffering. Of course nothing is better than watching a hated rivel get close and miss while reaching for the brass ring. I can hope. |

As a Yankee fan of past, I stopped watching them after they got AROD. I hated Giambi but AROD was the icing on the cake.
Not only did they overpay for AROD, they also gave up ALFONSO SORIANO!!! I honestly think the Yankees would have won more than 1 WS if they kept Soriano in that time frame. Anyways, I will say the following.... This does not hurt them and here is why: The get rid of Castro, but Castro is no Soriano. They got Castro for dirt cheap anyways. To turn him into Stanton is ridiculous (Thank you Jeter). Also, By not signing Stanton, you are banking on HARPER or MACHADO in 2018. Stanton may wind up being more effective than both those players over the next 8 years. Why? Harper is injury prone. He plays the game hard, but reminds me of a young Griffey. Eventually those injuries caught up to him and cost him seasons. The talent is greater than Stanton, however risk is way greater of injury. Stanton has been injured, but they are always freak injuries. Machado is what he is. A good player no doubt, but not the best. Throwing Stanton in left gives the Yankees 2 absolute CANNONS in the corner OF spots. The only negative of this deal is, when they are cold, this lineup is going to strike out 15 times a game. The plus side though is they will hit streaks of 50 runs in 4 games at least once next season haha. |

The Yanks signing players after career years has usually panned out:
Ellsbury Pavano Burnett Giambi Big Unit Contreras Igawa

Same thing can be said for the Big unit, they again traded for him. Also Randy only played 2 years for the yankees and the first one he went 17-8, so id consider that a good year. |

this may have single handedly busted Judge's Sophomore Slump before it could even begin.
