The 2023 baseball season has been marked by numerous challenges, with the full-team setback being a significant concern. Among the high-priced veterans who have underperformed, Giancarlo Stanton, tied to the Yankees with a hefty contract, stands out.

A Peek into Stanton’s Contract

The Yankees/Marlins are bound to pay Stanton a whopping $118 million over the ensuing four seasons. For the 2023 season alone, he is owed $32 million, a sum that will persist for the next two years before tapering off to $29 million and eventually $25 million at 38 years old, when the team possesses a club option.
