Yankees may consider replacing Stanton with Devers this offseason
Summary

The New York Yankees are facing a decision on designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, who has missed significant time due to injuries again this season. With $25 million owed to him for next season, and the possibility of declining a $25 million option for 2028, the Yankees might look to part ways with Stanton. Rafael Devers of the San Francisco Giants is emerging as a potential replacement, which could be unpopular among Boston Red Sox fans. Devers is performing well this season and has a strong history at Yankee Stadium, making him a viable candidate for the Yankees if they decide to move on from Stanton.
