MLB trade rumors: 5 potential new homes for Giancarlo Stanton

4. New York Yankees

If Brett Gardner can have nine home runs and a .520 slugging percentage at the end of May playing his home games in Yankee Stadium, just imagine the possibilities of Giancarlo Stanton sending fly balls into the Cross-Bronx Jetstream. He might hit 75 home runs in his first season with the Yankees.

With the rules of the new CBA easing punishments on teams that blow past the league’s luxury tax threshold, it is not out of the question to think that the Yankees might build a roster that costs over a billion dollars. Stanton would fit in quite nicely at DH with third baseman Manny Machado, right fielder Aaron Judge, left fielder Bryce Harper and center fielder Mike Trout. Because really — what’s money?

The Yankees certainly have the young prospects to dangle in an effort to acquire Stanton, Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez being the only untouchables. Even Gleyber Torres may be available in the right situation. Parting with Luis Severino may also be out of the question given the Yankees’ inability to develop or sign starting pitching in recent years. Every other young stud in the farm system, however, have at ’em.

At some point in the next three years, the Yankees are destined to become a dynasty. Brian Cashman has finally gotten his hands on a strong farm system after years of meddling and trigger-happy dealings from the Steinbrenner family. The Yankees can be a player on any big name and have the resources to get whatever they want.
