Giancarlo Stanton

Stanton's ISO dropped .107 points, and he was still pretty good. Spoiled Yankees fans got antsy all 211 times he struck out, but the star slugger still smashed 38 homers with a .360 wOBA. After spending years worrying about his health, it was encouraging to see him play 158 games (mostly at DH), which allowed him to compile 100 RBI and 102 runs in a stacked lineup. He gave back most of 2017's contact gains, so expect a batting average closer to 2018's .266. Now that durability isn't a pressing concern, that's good enough for drafters to take his bankable power-even if we're talking 40 instead of 60 homers-to close out the second round.

Giancarlo Stanton could be traded this winter?

Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe reports that the Yankees might be trying to trade Giancarlo Stanton this off-season.

Fantasy Impact

Cafardo mentions the Dodgers as a team who could take on Stanton's contract, though a trade would ultimately be unlikely. The Yankees would only seriously consider moving Stanton if they really wanted one or both of Manny Machado and Bryce Harper. Other teams could view Stanton as an alternative to signing Machado or Harper. Stanton hit 38 homers with a .852 OPS during his first season with the Yankees.
