The New York Yankees had a disappointing season in 2023, failing to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016. They are facing challenges heading into the 2024 season, with limited payroll for free agents and little change in the top ranks of the organization.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman commented on Giancarlo Stanton’s injury history, saying “He’s going to wind up getting hurt again more likely than not because it seems to be part of his game.” In response, Stanton’s agent, Joel Wolfe, addressed Cashman’s statement. See below: pic.twitter.com/gZHlqy4cfY

Stanton’s agent, Joel Wolfe, was not pleased with the comments and warned that they should serve as a cautionary message for any player contemplating joining the Yankees.
I read through the whole interview. I believe it’s important for all free agents, whether foreign or domestic, to remember that playing for a New York team requires mental and physical toughness. You have to be resilient like Teflon and always stay on guard, even during the offseason.
