New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will not opt out of his contract, which has seven years and $218 million remaining after this season.
Jon Heyman of WFAN Sports Radio and MLB Network provided the report on Stanton, who has four home runs, 10 RBI and a .261 batting average in 21 games in 2020.
The Yanks traded for Stanton, the 2017 National League MVP and two-time home run leader, during the 2018 offseason. The ex-Miami Marlin smacked 38 home runs, drove in 100 runners and hit .266 in 2018.
However, injuries have forced Stanton off the field for all but 39 games over the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
