And Stanton is gone from Miami more than likely
I admit I don't know too much about the return, but wooo, trading off our star players once again!
Doesn't give me much confidence to watch under this ownership.
Stanton is 28 years old, still owed $295 million over the next 10 years.
Miami will pay $30 million of that, they pay Castro $10 and 11 million a year for next 2 years and Giancarlo can opt out of this deal after 3 years and $77million paid. Basically the Yankees are going all in and getting the reigning MVP for around $24 million for the next 2-3 years which is great value and also keeps them under the luxury salary tax penalty. After 3 years, his salary balloons to $32 million for like 3-4 years and then starts to dip again in his mid to late 30's.
The Yankees gave up 2 really good prospects along with Castro but they just accelerated their re-build by a year or two in adding a lot more offense to their lineup.
Yankees are going to win this year or next, they have three of the best HR hitters in the game now with Stanton (59), Judge (52) and Sanchez (33). They also have $$ to go add to their bullpen and roster with a ton of big UFA contracts coming off their books.
As a Blue Jays fan, this sucks.
