Stanton’s Injury Crisis and Yankees’ DH Future | New York Yankees News

Giancarlo Stanton’s Yankees tenure is in jeopardy as injury after injury sidelines the 36-year-old slugger, who’s barely played 120 games total since joining the team. While he’s a force when healthy, his durability has vanished — and with just 43 homers left to hit 500, the Yankees may be better off moving on. With a $25M club option for 2028 (likely skipped) and only $15M of his next season’s salary on the books, trading him opens doors: Aaron Judge could DH more, and the Yankees could snag a younger, healthier bat to pair with Judge. It’s not cheap, but it might be the smartest move for a championship push. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
