Fueled by a fervent work ethic, GIANCARLO STANTON is determined to make his debut season as a New York Yankee a memorable one.
Giancarlo Stanton is having a damn good decade.
In 2010, the Miami Marlins picked up the now 28-year-old California native, and he quickly accumulated an impressive list of accolades. The outfielder racked up four MLB All-Star appearances and was named the National League MVP in 2017. That same year, he led the NL in home runs (hitting 59, the most in 16 years), RBIs, and slugging percentage. In 2014, the Marlins resigned Stanton to the most lavish contract in MLB history— $325 million over 13 years.
Turns out, though, that Miami’s eyes were bigger than its wallet. To shed the enormous salary from its payroll, Miami traded Stanton in 2017, and he eventually ended up on the New York Yankees. He’s not complaining.
“I was so excited,” Stanton tells M&F about becoming a Yankee. “[Putting on that jersey], I felt like a kid.” To top it off, the 6'6", 245-pound slugger hit two homers in his Yankee debut.
