Here’s why Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees works

Adding Stanton makes too much sense not to work!

Now that we’ve covered why acquiring Stanton is a slam dunk, the only thing left for some people to complain about is the fact he’s still owed $265 million.

I’m sorry, but is it your money that general manager Brian Cashman is spending? And don’t give me this, “well I pay to go to games” and “I buy merchandise.”

You do these things of your own volition. No one makes you drop hundreds of dollars per season to support the team. Watch games at home, dressed in your Bernie Williams tee-shirt. You can even count your shekels during the 7th inning stretch to make yourself feel better.

But no longer can you call Hal’s son, cheap. No longer can you demand that the Steinbrenner family sells the club. Should you still choose to, you’ll be in the minority.

Why not enjoy the fruits of the front offices’ labor? I can’t wait for the new season to begin. I’m already scouting out spring training tickets.

The moves made over the last 16 months have been strategically brilliant. The organization just acquired the reigning NL MVP and kept one of the strongest farm systems on the planet intact. How are you not thrilled?!

The history of injuries Stanton has suffered since coming into the league in 2010 is always a concern. But as he showed during his 2017 NL MVP season, when healthy, the guy is the best slugger in baseball — hands down.

For all the pessimists waiting for Stanton to get hurt, shame on you. It’s entirely possible, Stanton, who is reportedly on a new diet and fitness regimen never again sustains a severe ailment.

Call it positive thinking, call it belief. The opportunity to employ a cleanup hitter who could rewrite the history books was too good to pass up on. Don’t believe me? I hear the Mets are looking for some new fans.
