4 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will opt into the final seven years and $218 million remaining on his contract, making him a Yankee well into the remainder of the decade. With an uncertain offseason facing many top stars, and injuries riddling Stanton’s tenure in New York, there was literal reason to believe that he would invoke the opt-out clause which was instituted when he originally signed with Miami. (The Marlins will have to pay New York $30 million upon Stanton's return to the Yankees.) Stanton has mashed to the tune of a .915 OPS this year, but has been limited to just 21 games. His presence at Yankee Stadium bodes well for his fantasy prospects both in 2021 and moving forward.--Jesse Borek
