New York Yankees fans react to report indicating Giancarlo Stanton may be released before his contract ends

Giancarlo Stanton is expected to be released before his contract ends with the New York Yankees. In 2020, Stanton declined to opt-out of his contract, keeping his seven-year, $218 million deal intact. The deal is carried out to 2027, when Giancarlo Stanton would be in his age-37 season.Stanton has spent the last five seasons with the New York Yankees. The 2017 National League MVP is coming off of a career-low slash line. He's almost completely disappeared from the player that brought terror to opposing pitchers.&quot;At this point, I would say there is a better chance Stanton follows the path of A-Rod and Jacoby Ellsbury and is released well short of the finish line of his contract that he plays it out through his age-37 season in 2027,&quot; MLB insider Joel sherman stated.MichiganYankees (Not a reporter)@MichiganYankeesSherman: “At this point, I would say there is a better chance Stanton follows the path of A-Rod and Jacoby Ellsbury and is released well short of the finish line of his contract than that he plays it out through his age-37 season in 2027.”28122Sherman: “At this point, I would say there is a better chance Stanton follows the path of A-Rod and Jacoby Ellsbury and is released well short of the finish line of his contract than that he plays it out through his age-37 season in 2027.”The Yankees released both Alex Rodriguez and Jacoby Ellsbury before their contracts were up. Ellsbury was burdened with injuries. He was released as he just couldn't stay in the lineup.Rodriguez retired and became a special advisor with the New York Yankees. He was dealing with an injured hamstring at the time that he couldn't bounce back from. He had to face the same fate most baseball players face, having to hang it up because of injuries.&quot;People hating on this but it's absolutely true. He hasn't played a full season without injuries since 2018. He declined severely this season. Wake up people,&quot; one fan explained.Marty@MartyA45_People hating on this but it’s absolutely true.

He’s had one year with an OPS below 800. And it was last year where offense was down. Yeah he hasn’t been completely healthy the last couple years but when he’s healthy he’s great.16@MichiganYankees Why? He’s had one year with an OPS below 800.

What he brought is what we already had at the time. A power hitter who wasn’t going to field. Should’ve waited and got Machado14@MichiganYankees Not that it’s Stanton’s fault and by no means has he been a bust but that trade barely moved the needle if any for the Yankees to become a better team.

They think he's been a tremendous help to the team, and they don't see him going anywhere. He only has one season in which he had an OBP of under .800.Other fans are mentioning how often he is injured. He's coming off of a 2022 season where he only played in 110 games. He was dealing with an achilles issue that made him miss a good chunk of games.The New York Yankees are hoping Giancarlo Stanton's down-year was just a flukeNew York Yankees v Texas Rangers - Game TwoWhile having a career-low slash line, Stanton still hit 31 home runs last season. This should give the Yankees some hope. The slash line could have been a result of his nagging injuries.Look for Giancarlo Stanton to get back on track next season.
