Stanton has had a huge downfall and thats just a fact. I still love how hard he used to hit the ball and how he doesn’t have a leg kick and yet still demolished the ball.

[@therealjaystone2344]

Trading for Stanton was the worst move by the Yankees

[@vidowatcher91]

He still hits it hard he just doesn't hit it enough. He did one 119.5 mph this year. Second hardest behind Acuna 121.2

[@cpehansen21]

As a Yankee fan, I'll happily admit Stanton has issues. But what Cashman did was bone headed at best. At best he pissed off one of the highest paid players on the team, at worst he has now damaged the relationship with Stanton and done nothing to promote his trade value. Just further proof Cashman should be out on his ass looking for another job

[@MerpTime]

Look back at Cashman's scouting and draft picks.. Aaron Judge. That's it. That's the only HOF quality player that Cashman has drafted/scouted. 20+ years, one guy. The most overrated GM (YES-man) that is still employed in baseball. Been calling for his firing since 2014. If Yankees fans dont see Cashman as the problem, then good luck to mediocrity for another few years as long as he's there.

Even as a Red Sox fan, I feel bad for the guy. He's an amazing hitter if healthy. But he just can't stay on the field. Had a bad year this year as well. I bet the Yankees wish he'd held up more like David Ortiz or Jim Thome and hit tons of HR on his way to the HOF.

[@josecordova32]

Yankee fan here. Yes Stanton's injuries are annoying and never been a big fan of him, but for Cash to say that he purposely injures himself as part of his game is complete disrespect. No player player across any sport chooses to injure themself. Also, Cash picked him up from Miami too. Cash is the epitome of vain.

[@TheRealSandorClegane]

Purposely injures himself? Do you know how to read? Thats not what he said

[@km-lr7wj]

I'm not a yankees fan, but some of the stuff I've heard cashman say/do over the years kind of irritates me, like the way he spread the Jeter contract negotiations info to the media, the way he low-balled judge before free agency, and now the Giancarlo Stanton stuff. How does he get away with this bull-s, maybe it's because everyone always re-signs with the yankees/cashman's past success.

[@leam89]

Yankees would have to cover most of the salary not maybe

[@garys4931]

As a Yankee fan, I actually appreciate FINALLY a transparent comment from someone in charge. All of last year and frankly most of Stanton's tenure in NY, people have always called to get rid of him. Now management speaks up and says what the fans say and he gets chastised. Cash hasn't said anything not true. Stanton needs to man up and accept facts. He needs to get better at playing through pain and maybe alter his approach at fitness. If someone is that easily going to be hurt all the time, maybe playing the game isn't the best option anymore and instead should retire and save his body the stress.

[@letsTACOboutGoals]

You're looking at Aaron in 3 years... He's also a big guy that will prove to be injury prone signed to a massive contract.

[@lovesgucci1]

I’m only 3 minutes in but there’s something up with the Yankees rehab team because you have players like Rizzo’s concussion go unchecked for 3 months and Stanton injuries that are common in sports but could also preventable to some degree (ie: change up stretches, yoga, before/after sports therapy… my mind is going black at the moment on specific name 🤦‍♀️) But I say this as a former gymnast and personal trainer. Im far from an expert on this but the Yankees have been called out for being cheap - remember when players had to pay for wi-fi on the team plane & we’re only called out when a reporter when that randomly came out from a player? Bad news is, tears can be reoccurring and can sideline you. I feel really bad for Stanton because it’s not like he is some lazy guy & you know he hears all the talk from fans & reporters (I highly doubt he listens to sports radio!)

I mean Cashman isn't wrong I love Giancarlo but he's been healthy for one season in NY. Last season and a half he can't hit the fastball which was his go 2.

[@strange-universe]

and this guy related the Marlins tenure in a jaded way. He only played over 125 games in 3 of the 8 seasons there. The injury thing started early and often.

[@braddorcas9363]

I wonder if stantons batting stance changing over the years was forced by the injuries. His front foot is much further foward and ahead of his rear foot by a good bit in the batters box, where it used to be much further back. Or maybe it was just in an effort to try and pull the ball a tad less.

[@MikeHart72]

I think his stance is psychological. He got drilled in the face while still with Miami and he probably thinks, in his head, he is more protected.

[@JohnDoe-rc9zi]

I saw him discussing it somewhere in a video years ago, his swing path works better with a closed stance (he changed his stance in July 2017 I think, and then hit like 15 homers in August and won MVP)

[@Landis_Grant]

That Mike Fiers fastball to his face affected him forever because he’s afraid to stand closer to the plate.

[@JWD1992]

The Stanton deal was disaster and I never wanted him, but I like him personally. He is certainly trying. And let's face it, the Yankees keep telling him how great his exit velocities are, so he's going to keep overexerting himself and getting hurt. They're not really steering him in the right direction. Cashman seems to be exploiting the fact that he's clearly un-fireable.

[@taylormit]

I remember Stanton being soooo streaky. There were times that any partial mistake he would hit out or he’d even homer on great pitches out of the zone.

[@jstro3136]

I like Stanton but when we signed him, I knew he was going to breakdown. I feel sorry for the guy I know he wanted to be out there but we didn’t need him in the first place.

[@tomhansson3235]

Stanton is absolutely injury prone as an individual, but the fact that there's no mention of how the medical and training staff can't keep their $30mil/ year asset on the field is wild. Muscle strains and tendon inflammation issues are not freak accidents like a fastball to the face or broken bones - those are things the strength and conditioning trainers should be working on daily.

[@kermitfrog593]

I think the medical staff is hamstrung though, no pun intended. If Stanton gets appropriate time off, he's missing too much time; if he's put out there too early, his injuries are likely to return. Not a great situation to be in for anyone.

[@croyfrmdao_214]

And I can't forget his (lack of) defensive skills hurt too. In Game 3 of the 2022 ALCS, the Astros had the bases loaded with no one out, Mancini hit a fly ball to left, and after Stanton, playing LF for that game, made the catch, all runners on base advanced because he backtracked and didn't have much on the throw.

And even if people think the Yankees have to eat all of this, the Marlins will still have to pay Stanton $10M a year from 2026-2028 😮 He could be anywhere in the league and still be the 3rd/4th highest salary on the Marlins in those years (much like Scherzer still getting $15M from the Nationals, or Griffey Jr a few million from the Reds)

Hal is probably putting the pressure on Cashman. The Yankees business model is to always make the playoffs, especially with what they charge fans.

Giancarlo has had two consecutive bad seasons of batting under .220 and I cannot see him ever hitting above .250 again. His legs are shot so he’s an outfield and base running liability. Strictly DHing isn’t fair to Judge and others who need to be off their feet once or twice a week. Bottom line: Stanton is useless. He still has 4 seasons and over $100 M owed to him. The Players Union will not allow the Yankees to pay off less than 75 cents on the dollar. Only a 100% payout is acceptable. Thanks, Brian Cashman!!

But I don’t think Stanton can stay in the lineup. And he shouldn’t be upset when confronted with the truth. IF he was providing the value that they were expecting when they traded for him, there wouldn’t have been the nearly fruitless LF search from last season.

he was already injury riddled before he went to NY. 5 out of 8 seasons for Marlins less than 125 games. And, getting hit the face was one of the 3 seasons over 125 games.

[@Malcolm.Y]

@@strange-universe The above-vodeo does a good job of explaining why the characterization of "injury riddled" is moronic. Does it occur to you that there is a difference between repetitive motion injury - guys just inuring themselves by running, throwing or swinging - verses collision injuries. Because EVERYONE is going to miss games after being hit in the face with a pitch. But not everyone injures himself running the bases. Too subtle? And why did you make you cutoff 125 games? Why not 116? Because that way you'd get stuck saying he had 6 out 8 on healthy seasons?

Time to Splash Water on the Yankee Fan Base faces. Stanton was a JUICER. During the A-Rod persecution by the lords of Baseball. The Doctor who was suppling PEDs to professional sport athletes in Florida was paid off by M.L.B. to give the names of his clients. Of course A-Rod was on the list, but so was Stanton and a whole host of other M.L.B. players too. The Lords of Baseball dismissed the other players as using legit drugs and named A-Rod as the sole Juicer in the bunch. In other words; A-Rod was made the Sacrificial Scapegoat. As for Stanton, his career has gone the way of other JUICERS. Once he got the Massive contract, he stopped Cold Turkey using PEDs. So when he became JUICELESS, he became USELESS. His Batting skills magically disappeared. As for the constant Non-Contact Connective Tissue injuries. That's due to High Volume, High Frequency Training in the Weight Room. Which does NOT allow the body to properly HEAL between training sessions. That is the pattern of PED drug use in the current M.L.B. scene. You have all seen players Batting Skills ERRODE after signing Massive long term contracts. There is an actual connection to this phenomena. By the way, the Yankees have taken on FIVE LOSS LEADER contracts. Three of which cannot be traded. Stanton being the Major one.

[@sergiorivera2007]

Stanton has to go !!! I know nobody wants his contract but he needs to go ! Dude is very fragile!

[@bradhorowitz2765]

Just wow…like cashman NEVER does this. Like ever. And look…I can’t say if the trade for Stanton was completely worth it but I never felt he WAS the problem . He was injury prone. But still was good/ moments of pure homers madness. But Cahsman has never gone on rants that seem to dig at a player. Not arod, not Josh Donaldson, not Chapman, not anyone; players who were much more of a problem in the clubhouse. Cashman has never seemed more defensive and looking like an old man going on rants. Like DUDE, YOU want him gone?!? You feel he is a liability?!? GUESS what you AGREE to take his contract knowing he might get injured. You have had opportunities to trade him when his value was high!! Don’t act so passive! Geez.

[@ShortRound42]

Stanton is a big muscle head, jacked, could bend me into a pretzel, BUT he's made of glass. He's missed in his career over 400 games. He never was the man that we needed when Judge was out of the lineup (he's fragile too). Judge has been better but Stanton does TOO much Olympic styled weight training. He just can't stay on the field. Doesn't matter how great or talented...if you can't play, you don't make a difference. He has to cut back, rest more, more flexibility and less muscle training. Had a great post season in '20 with the Yanks I think. But he looks to be shot. He can't run.

[@anthonyimbesi8661]

As a Yankees fan I think it’s terrible what Cashman said about Stanton. He’s the general manager he put a team together and now it’s not making the playoffs he’s trying to wiggle his way out of the mess that he made of the team. Maybe it’s Cashman who isn’t as good as he used to be.

[@LordEd21-21]

He should come to the Astros and platoon left field/DH with Yordan Alvarez!

[@paulsky7943]

No way, he's not worth league minimum

[@vranthis]

That really a good thing for the yankees

[@Yeo-]

Look, I don’t care how true what Cashman said about Big G is, you can’t just go and say that type of shit about your player. You might say “oh but don’t you get mad when Cashman says stuff about the players that just obviously bullshit”, and while that’s true, that doesn’t mean talking shit about your own player is justified. Cashman easily could’ve said something along the lines of “we’re aware of Stanton’s continued issues with repetitive injuries, but we’re working with him on that regard and we’re confident that he’s going to make improvements and be healthier going forwards.” That was not really hard for me to come up with, and covers all the bases (acknowledges the issue, addresses future plans, shows support for your player). Everybody wins there, but Cashman clearly doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing, as evident by the fact that he says we’re doing “pretty fucking good”…

"Stanton was able to get a front row dugout seat for Jose Altuve's homerun in Game 6 (of the 2019 ALCS)"... Haha. So funny. Ironically, Altuve was the AL MVP when Stanton got his NL MVP award in 2017.

[@jamesmichael5475]

Station would be better served accepting a trade to a west coast team, where the weather is better and he doesn't have to sit in cold environments between innings, allowing muscles to tightened,, nerve conduction velocities to diminish. Once an athlete sustains a grade II Hamstring strain, the probability that that muscle will sustain a re-injury under stress is probably 100%, because muscle and tendon strains heal via scar tissue filling in the partial tear defect. Scar tissue is weaker to torsional and shear stresses than the original muscle fibers and therefore more apt to rupture during the eccentric phase of muscle contraction during the swing phase of running gait, when the Hamstrings are activated to effectively decelerate the rapidly extending knee flexing hip. During this phase of gait, the Hamstrings are contracting, but lengthening (being stretched, analogous to an athlete performing forced negative arm curls, extending the elbows from a flexed position, carrying a heavy load while contracting the Biceps muscle group). Greater forces are applied to muscles during eccentric (muscle is contracting , but lengthening) then during concentric (muscle is contracting and shortening) muscle contractions, placing the muscle at greater risk of injury. As a Sports Scientist/Exercise Physiologist, Biomechanist, and Human Performance Specialist, having worked with many professional and olympic athletes, invented or exercise and military equipment, an performed research on Hamstring injuries, I can without hesitation state that 99.999% of physicians and physical therapists do not know how to properly rehabilitate Hamstring Injuries, because they have failed to read the scientific literature on the subject, period. Grade II Hamstring injuries require in excess of one year to heal, and the healed by-product of the injury will always represent a weakened functional entity compared to the original un-injured muscle, prone to re-injury and progression of the grade II to a complete rupture, Grade III, requiring surgery. I posted this at the time of Staton's injury, and was very concerned for his welfare, when the Yankees had him return to play after just 2 months, a period grossly insufficient to permit healing of a grade II Hamstring strain. This was in effect medical malpractice, if the treating physician signed off on his return to play.

[@EagleS197]

No one is walking away from almost 30 million a year for playing a game no matter how insulted they were or embarrassed by their boss. He should but he won't. He is finally seeing why old school baseball players like Mantle, Ruth, Berra, Clemente, Mays, etc, NEVER lifted weights as part of their workout. They just new better. Stop the weight lifting! Stay on the field.

[@staciemohler4624]

Only 5 players have hit a ball 120+ mph those being O'Neil Cruz, Gary Sánchez, Judge, and Acuña who have each done it once and Stanton who has done it a insane 14 times 6 of them coming in 2021

[@derjaeger3321]

The Yankees are not the Marlins or any other team, they have very high aspirations and performance not just expected , it is demanded! This guy has disappeared for the last 24 months or so. His body is failing and he has a slow bat. What the team says is true he is fragile and gets hurt, and it will not get better as he ages. It is not an insult if it is the truth. Yes he hits the ball hard… when hits it, but how many men are left on base, how many unproductive ABs are there, too many “o-fers”, too many Ks…this will not end well. NYC is not a place for a high salaried player to underperform. Do I think he is a bum, no but I think he is a spent force. How many mid-thirties hitters bounce back from two really bad years? Not many, not many at all. Remember Maris got booed, even Judge heard a smattering of boos last year. They do not call it the Bronx Cheer for nothing. Belichick is hearing rumblings in New England. The kitchen gets hot for the cook when the steak is tough and the soup is cold.

[@caseybelt4129]

where is he gonna go no one will take on that contract

[@Habanero212]

And let's be real about his HRs. Rarely are they meaningful. If he hit 35 HRs best believe 30 of them were tack-ons or during blowouts. He's the king of hitting into DPs. I really don't care that he's insulted. His paycheck more than makes up for it.

[@jd0696]

It sucks because when Derek Jeter traded him to the Yankees, we were supposed to have a player that helped bring championships to the Bronx. A player that eventually hits 500 home runs and celebrate that milestone. A player that broke records in post season. A freak player that hit different type of home runs thst you don’t ever see in baseball behind another freak that hit the longest home runs in Aaron Judge. We only got that in spurts. This was supposed to be mantle / maris. They were never on the field at the same time to have that chemistry as 2-3 hitters. I love Stanton, but, instead of being part of Yankees history as one of the most feared 2-3 hitters ever, we’re gonna look back and say what could’ve been. It was something that just never happened. And that really sucks. Stanton is one of the best homerun hitters I’ve ever seen. He just couldn’t stay on the field here.

Typical clickbait headline. With over $100M left on his contract Stanton is untradable. And he's certainly not going to walk away from the game with all the guaranteed money he's owed. So how exactly can you claim that he "might leave the Yankees"?

[@jamesniesuchouski9373]

; ) please.... it would be appreciated if he left. Can't lay off or hit a slider.... can't run... can't play 3 games in a row.... had one good year. He should be insulted... but a true winner does something about it, takes accountability and doesn't cry like a baby. Should be ashamed to cash those paychecks.

[@jakestakes9075]

Of course the Yankees want to get rid of him. However, he’s one of the only players that actually shows up in the playoffs for the Yankees. I know he’s expensive and always injured. But trading him isn’t worth what you’d get in return for how much they would have to eat in salary. How confident are you cashman can effectively replace Stanton?
