Miami Marlins: Giancarlo Stanton trade, where are they now?

The Miami Marlins made one of the biggest trades in the franchise’s history back on December 11, 2017 when the club sent outfielder Giancarlo Stanton and cash to the New York Yankees in exchange for three players.

One of the greatest players in Marlins history, Stanton was one of the top overall players in baseball at the time, as well as also coming off of the greatest single season’s the organization has ever seen back in 2017.

Winning the NL MVP award, the-then 27-year-old Stanton led the MLB in home runs (59) and RBI’s (132) during the 2017 season, as well as also leading the NL with a .631 SLG% and a 169 OPS+. Just a small glimpse into the impact that Stanton had during his time in Miami, the four-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner also currently leads the franchise all-time in multiple statistical categories across his 986 career games (third in Marlins history) such as WAR (35.7), SLG% (.554), HR (267), RBI (672), and more.

Having had success during his time with the Yankees so far, Stanton will be entering year No. 5 in New York in 2022. As for the three players the Marlins received for Stanton, where are they now?
