The New York Yankees may have made the biggest splash of the offseason Saturday, reportedly acquiring reigning National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins.
The deal is still pending, as Stanton must pass a physical and give his approval, as he holds a full no-trade clause. But if the deal is completed, New York puts itself in serious contention to win the World Series next season.
Stanton would bring 59 home runs and 132 RBIs to a Yankees squad that was one win away from reaching the big dance last season.
