His declining speed, lack of defensive value, and frequent injuries have turned his massive contract into an anchor for the Yankees. Paying $30 million a year for a hitter who&rsquo;s inconsistent at best, and unavailable at worst, has fueled criticism.<\/p><p>And yet, Giancarlo Stanton reminded everyone in 2024 exactly why he&rsquo;s paid that money: seven home runs, 16 RBIs, and an ALCS MVP performance, stepping up when Aaron Judge struggled. Even with all that, it&rsquo;s impossible to ignore that Stanton hasn&rsquo;t played over 120 games since 2021, and injuries have defined his recent seasons.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AN OCTOBER FOR THE AGES!
