It’s official.
Giancarlo Stanton will be wearing Yankee pinstripes next season.
The Marlins formally announced the trade to send Stanton to New York for four-time All-Star second baseman Starlin Castro and prospects Jorge Guzmán, a right-handed pitcher and shortstop José Devers and cash considerations.
The trade was reportedly agreed upon Saturday in advance of the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings, which began Monday morning at the Disney World Dolphin and Swan resort.
