What makes Stanton's performance more contentious is his massive contract. Still, the Yankees do currently hold a wild card spot and play in the statistically best division in MLB, so there is room for optimism going forward. His low 2023 totals in both those statistics really show his regression, and the team's third-place ranking in the AL East makes his struggles more prominent. 211 in 2022, but did supplement that with 31 home runs and 78 RBI's.
