Could Giancarlo Stanton opt-out of his contract with the New York Yankees?

With the 2020 baseball season in jeopardy of happening at all, the New York Yankees will have to deal with a multitude of expiring contracts, including Zack Britton, J.A. Happ, James Paxton, Brett Gardner, and Masahiro Tanaka.

Giancarlo Stanton, on the other hand, is in the middle of a massive 13-year, $325 million deal. Currently, he’s in the sixth season of this deal, earning $26 million with an opt-out after the 2020 season. Stanton’s contract only increases in annual pay, indicating that he will likely stick with the Bombers for the foreseeable future. His deal reaches a peak of $32 million for three consecutive seasons.
