Considering they booed him on Opening Day of his first season in pinstripes, the news will come as no surprise to fans of the New York Yankees\u00a0that Giancarlo Stanton\u2019s contract is an albatross.<\/div>\n
\n
After he was one of their best offensive players in the 2024 World Series, however, those feelings may have softened a bit.<\/p>\n
\n

Still, according to\u00a0Bleacher Reports\u2019 Joel Reuter, Stanton\u2019s contract is the seventh worst in baseball.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis strong playoff performance and the fact that the Marlins are on the hook for roughly 25 percent of his remaining salary keeps him from ranking any higher, \u201cReuter wrote. \u201cBut it\u2019s unlikely he will live up to his salary over the remaining three seasons of his 13-year, $325 million megadeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanton still has three years left on the 13-year deal he signed with the Miami Marlins. The Yankees took over the deal in 2018 with Marlins picking up about a quarter of the money. He will be paid $32 million in 2025.<\/p>\n

Now 35 years old, Stanton is limited by age and the toll the game has taken on his 6-foot-6, 245-pound body. In seven seasons as a Yankee, Stanton has hit 162 home runs and slashed .241\/.323\/.483.<\/p>\n

He did not play in the outfield at all in 2024 and his need to be in the designated hitter role limits the flexibility that manager Aaron Boone has with his lineup.<\/p>\n

But Stanton\u2019s performance this postseason has certainly made all that easier to tolerate. Stanton hammered seven home runs, drove in 16 runs, and had a 1.048 OPS as he was named the MVP of the American League Championship Series.<\/p>\n

Reuter named Anaheim Angels\u2019 outfielder Mike Trout\u2019s 12-year, $430 million deal the worst contract in all of baseball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
