Former Yankees Player Cameron Maybin Reveals Information On Giancarlo Stanton’s Tenure With Yankees

Is Giancarlo Stanton content with the Yankees in New York? While former player and current commentator Cameron Maybin isn’t so convinced, MLB analyst Keith McPherson agrees.

Former Yankees Player Cameron Maybin Reveals Information On Giancarlo Stanton’s Tenure With Yankees

Giancarlo Stanton, a slugger for the New York Yankees, could not always be a member of the team. It’s true that Stanton and the Yankees reached a multi-year agreement that would pay Stanton about $100 million over the course of the following four seasons, and it’s possible that New York wouldn’t want to throw away that much cash.

However, at least one MLB pundit thinks Stanton could eventually feel the need to look for a change of scenery.

Although he didn’t want to put words in Stanton’s mouth, former Yankees player Cameron Maybin expressed doubts about Stanton’s desire to end his career the pinstripes.

McPherson summarized the Yankees’ future in a tweet that was published on X, the former Twitter. He talked about several players, including Stanton. McPherson stated, “he wants to finish his career here,” in reference to Stanton.

In response to McPherson’s remark, Maybin made a suggestion that Stanton could request a trade in the future.

“You know I agree with everything you said except the big G part…. And I’ll leave it there. Im not putting words in his mouth but not so sure he wants to finish his career in the pinstripes.. I’m sure he’d like to  finish somewhere that actual appreciates how’s he’s handle every sec of being in NYC.”

The 34-year-old Stanton is not the same player he once was—a superstar. Despite his injuries, he is still a terrific player with a lot of bat power. However, his overall effectiveness has been restricted.

The formerly powerful slugger just finished a career-worst 2023 season with an OPS of.695, slashing.191/.275/.420. The five-time All-Star has informed the media that, following an incredibly disappointing campaign, he intends to improve his game this summer.

But Stanton may think about making a big move and looking to play ball somewhere else if he becomes tired of the constant barrage of criticism from the New York media. There have been no reports of him attempting to force his way out of the Big Apple, so all of this is just conjecture.

Dealing a 34-year-old who may have injuries would be challenging enough. However, a deal appears even less feasible in light of Stanton’s contract. His contract is still in effect through the 2027 campaign, and in 2028, he has a club option.

According to Spotrac, he will be paid $32 million in 2024 and 2025, $29 million in 2026, $25 million in 2027, and a $25 million club option for the 2028 campaign.

Once more, Stanton could want to remain with the Yankees. Though it’s not as though Stanton specifically asked for a deal, Maybin’s article will attract notice in New York.
