New York Yankees: How will Giancarlo Stanton fit in?

Sometimes, when teams reach to land a superstar talent on their team, the players don’t mesh well together. It can become a show, a distraction, and can actually be a further detriment to a team that might have been better off keeping the original team they had. Sounds a little bit like the 2004 Yankees, right? We saw how the Alex Rodriguez years went. With the exception of one ring that he practically carried the team to, he was a serious $100 million distraction off and even on the field at times.

The Yankees politely danced their way out of the A-rod era, giving him the lovey send-off that he (probably) deserved so that they could go ahead and begin the process of building the next great Yankee team. There is almost a zero percent chance that any Yankee fans at that point thought that they would go into the 2018 season with the American League Rookie of the Year and the National League MVP while coming off a season where they fell just a win shy of the World Series. Nonetheless, here they are with actual championship expectations and a player that makes this team downright terrifying.Stanton appears to be the perfect guy to be the new face of this Yankees team. It doesn’t appear as though he cares so much about the spotlight, being the number one guy, or playing where he wants to play. The bottom line is that he wants to win, and he wants to get better. In his spring training press conference Stanton, who is a seasoned veteran, said he is “excited to learn (from Judge), for us to bounce ideas off each other, we’re very similar and people are going to pitch us the same, bring us the same approach.” As for the culture of playing with the Yankees, Stanton said he is excited to ” get into this winning culture.” Stanton clearly sees how established guys like Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez are in this franchise, thus he knows that his only concern should be winning. Nothing more, and nothing less.
