The slugging right-fielder cannot opt out for another five seasons, but some drastic changes will need to take place if Miami wants to see him play out the full length of the record breaking contract.
Giancarlo Stanton is probably not a happy camper right now. The jewel in Miami's crown was promised a playoff-caliber team, a winning culture in the dugout and a stable and competitive front office when he signed his mega-deal in November.

After being a trendy Wild Card pick at the start of the year, the Marlins might actually lose 100 games and they look destined to not sport a winning record once over the course of the entire season.
