MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The blockbuster trade that sends reigning National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton to the New York Yankees is now official.
The Miami Marlins shipped Stanton and his massive contract to the Bronx Bombers in exchange for infielder Starlin Castro and a pair of minor leaguers; RHP Jorge Guzman and infielder Jose Devers.
The deal was locked in on Monday as Stanton officially waived his no-trade clause.
Stanton has 10 years and $295 million remaining on his contract, the majority of which will be paid by the Yankees should the slugger remain with the team through the team of the deal.
