The New York Yankees‘ current plight doesn’t seem to be taking a backseat in the near future. A large part of this has to do with less-than-favorable contracts they’ve committed to, some of which are already showing signs of being burdensome.

One contract causing a furrowed brow in the Yankees’ camp is that of Giancarlo Stanton. With a looming $32 million payout next season and an overwhelming $118 million over the upcoming four years, the financial strain is palpable. Although the Miami Marlins generously contribute $10 million every season, the financial commitment from the Yankees remains significant.
