What does Giancarlo Stanton say about Tony Clark's resignation?
So this is no fault of Giancarlo Stanton. Just kind of funny how the news cycle works in today's age. So the word about Tony Clark's resignation as MLBPA executive director comes out yesterday. It was like midday. I don't remember the exact timing of it. And the immediate assumption is it's related to the ongoing federal investigation into the union's financial dealings. So after the Yankees go through their spring training workout, Stanton was asked about it when he met the media.
Yeah, I just really heard about it on the field during practice. So I don't have much on it as I don't have, um, any info on who, what, where, when, and why, but, um, Yeah, not ideal.
No, and a short time later, the who and the what obviously became much clearer.
You asked if someone on the other side might have called the other side to say, so how are we doing over there? Imagine what the conversation was like in the outfields of the spring training facility.
Oh, I mean, once the sister-in-law thing came out.
Of course. Holy crap.
It was shocking.
Who would be the one Yankee you'd want to hear his reaction of that more than the others? Mine would be Jazz Chisholm. Yeah. Yeah, he'd be fun.
Also, because it's spring training, Nick Swisher's in camp.
Oh, okay.
So that would definitely be a guy. Yeah, but he would just go, oh. Yeah, I suppose that's true. Jazz would probably be the guy, I would think.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think if I'm missing someone more obvious.
Well, you know who would have a fun answer because he stutters over himself would be Garrett Cole. Yeah. Well, he wouldn't get to it. Right. I mean, like, I... wouldn't bang my sister-in-law, but people do, and they got to deal with the consequences. Oh, boy. Spot on right there.
Yeah, pretty much. So the wheels are off now, and the union, obviously, without defined leadership, at least for the moment, and everyone looking ahead to the impending CBA negotiation and the potential work stoppage for 2027. I don't know if you guys referenced it. So I guess the leadership council or the... eight or nine guys had the call yesterday they did not vote on an interim but they were hoping to maybe do that as early as this morning or sometime today so we see if you get a name out there uh as far as someone that can step in at least from a representation standpoint for clark moving forward now back to stanton so he meets the media a day all of the a day after all of the aaron judge stuff which we discussed yesterday morning and he was teed up on that he was frustrated with the lack of moves being made was that how you were feeling as well
I was definitely checking to see if anything was going on.
But beyond that, he kind of took a little bit more, I don't know, diplomatic approach to the whole thing? Didn't get as emotional about it as Judge at least publicly said that he did?
Interested. Frustrating. I wouldn't say frustrating. You have all until through spring to make moves. So just interested, curious, and... Yeah.
Stand in.
You can sit on my face.
Any thoughts about your horrible contract holding Hal Steinbrenner back from making more moves, Giancarlo? I didn't think of that. That's a good point. Well, the contract's lighter now, no? Yeah.
Are we getting towards the back end of it?
Why is Stanton frustrated with the Yankees' offseason moves?
Plus, I think the Marlins are still paying some of it. True magic.
Yeah, but I mean, if they were able to get rid of him, it would free up money to spend elsewhere. I mean, and probably in a more productive way.
Yeah.
Maybe. I mean, he's given them some productivity.
I mean, in the postseason, yeah. But, I mean, he can't run or play the field any longer. 19 million this year.
Where are you seeing that?
Sport track. I don't know how you pronounce that. I always say spot track. So did I. But it's not that. I've heard everything. I don't know. But I got $19 million this year, $15 million next year. Club option, which will not be picked up for 2028.
I see $29, but that might deduct what the Marlins are paying. Marlins paying $30 million if he does not exercise the right to opt out. I think they're deducting the money that they got from Miami there.
