Yankees 2020 Roster Report Cards: Giancarlo Stanton

For the second year in a row, Giancarlo Stanton was limited due to injuries, missing almost two-thirds of the season and never playing defense. When he was on the field, however, he reminded Yankees fans why Brian Cashman jumped on the opportunity to trade for him after the 2017 season.

Grade: A-

2020 Statistics: 23 games, 94 plate appearances, .250/.387/.500, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 144 OPS+, 0.4 bWAR, 0.4 fWAR

Contract Status: $29 million salary ($22 million for luxury tax purposes), under contract until 2027 with a 2028 team option

In a normal year, playing only 23 games would result in an incomplete grade, no matter how well a player performed in those games.
