I think they had a legitimate chance to get a Machado, Bryce Harper or add another arm. Stanton is great and will help out the rest of the lineup but his contract sucks and the Yankees already have a 180 outfield.

ljl no. stanton >>> harper and machado and their will command the same type of contract. stanton is in his prime and contract terminates at 38. in 10 years $28MM isn't going to be an insane number

Stanton had 1 fully healthy season

His defense is worse than harper's

he played over 140 games two years ago. has hit over 20 hr every year of his career including a year he played 70 games. they don't need him for defense as their outfield is already packed. he can dh in the playoffs. no guarantee they can get harper but if they did he would get close to $400MM

stanton is not better than either

it makes sense for the yankees b/c they're probably getting him at a slight discount to what the highest bidder would pay for giancarlo today when you take the money they're getting back into account, and b/c of how close they are to a championship. and b/c it might allow them to not have to spend a shitton on machado or harper when they're available. either could go for like 35-45% more on an annual basis than what the yankees will be paying giancarlo on average.

regardless the contract itself was a shitty contract when the marlins signed it.

stanton misses an average of almost *50 games* a year and is prone to up-and-down years. plays a low-value position and isn’t very good at it. machado isn’t quite giancarlo offensively when giancarlo is at his peak but stanton has had much higher variance and machado might be the best defender in the league (at least one of) at a more valuable position, and has still been close to top-tier offensively in his own right. harper was one of the two best players in the league by age 22 and is still the same player.

only times the other two have been hurt have been with semi-significant or significant freak injuries like harper’s knee injury last year. stanton has a hard time playing out the grind of a season b/c of muscle strains and shit.

that said the yankees got him at pretty fair value given how close they are to a WS and would have had to pay through the nose for either machado or harper next year (and still might), and they get him now. this trade was about getting value from a fire sale.

Their pitching is good. Inproving your lineup and defense never hurts.

Pitching wins in the playoffs. More often than not the better starter wins the game regardless of who is in the lineup
