Yankees GM Cashman's Comments on Stanton's Injuries Spark Controversy

Stanton's Agent Warns Potential Free Agents About Playing for the Yankees

  • Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has publicly stated that he expects Giancarlo Stanton to get injured again, describing him as 'injury-prone'.
  • Stanton's agent, Joel Wolfe, responded by warning potential free agents that they need to be 'made of Teflon' to play for the Yankees, implying that they need to be resilient to criticism and pressure.
  • Wolfe also represents Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a potential Yankees target, raising questions about how Cashman's comments might affect future negotiations.
  • Stanton has missed significant playing time due to injuries over the past five seasons, playing in just 63% of all possible regular season games since joining the Yankees in 2018.
  • Despite his injury history, when healthy, Stanton is considered one of the most dangerous hitters in the game.
