Entering his third season with the New York Yankees, it’s safe to say the Giancarlo Stanton blockbuster trade hasn’t exactly panned out thus far.
Despite slugging 38 home runs and 100 RBI’s during his inaugural season in the Bronx, Stanton failed to stay on the field in 2019, playing in just 18 games. The former Marlin battled through biceps, shoulder, and calf injuries and underwent a disastrous second season with the Bombers. Not to mention, he didn’t provide much upside during the playoffs either.
To make matters worse, the 30-year-old slugger sustained a calf injury during spring training — the first version — while fielding fly balls.
