Giancarlo Stanton is trending toward the strangest Yankees tenure of any great player in team history.
Yes, your initial instinct may be tying Stanton to Alex Rodriguez or Dave Winfield. But consider:
A-Rod was a Yankee for 13 years, including the suspension season. He was a seven-time All-Star, two-time MVP who won three Silver Slugger awards and a World Series in pinstripes.
Winfield did not win a title, of course. But in his eight full seasons (he was traded to the Angels 20 games into his ninth), he was an eight-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger, five-time Gold Glover and was top-12 in MVP voting six times.
