Scout’s note
Giancarlo Stanton, 36, from Panorama, California, has 456 home runs and 1,183 RBI in 1,750 games. He has also struck out 2,088 times, which is the honest cost of all that power — the swing does not narrow with age.

What he’s paid
Not statedA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s.
- 2026 salary
- $29.00M
- Tax hit
- $25.00M
- Service time
- 16 yr 118 d
- Guaranteed
- $325M
The deal 13 years $325M (2015–2027), unspecified option for 2028 — $25.0M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 13 y/$325M (15-27)+28 opt · agent Wasserman · 3 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2028 |
|---|---|
| Cash | Option |
| Tax hit | Option |
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, New York Yankees.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

- 13 yrs

- Extension
What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | $29.0M | $25.0M | $25.0M |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The Bureau on Giancarlo Stanton
The scouting press, in their own words
https://t.co/vZDY6Xg4Ok Two big NYY October questions: Do they need Stanton and Judge? Will they make an impact. “I feel like my timing’s pretty good. But at this point, it’s about results. I need to see impact,” Stanton, the active one, tells The Post
Giancarlo Stanton is coming on deck to face Rays closer Bryan Baker to start the 9th. Stanton hasn’t batted since April 24. Rays lead Yankees 1-0.
ICYMI https://t.co/Mvls3HHk6x During Aaron Boone’s tenure the face of the organization has been Cole/Judge/Stanton. None of them played against the Red Sox and were limited during the season. What does that say about the Yankees now and moving forward.
Umpire favor
+0.0 net runs over 9 graded games — an even shake from the zone this season.
