Here’s what people were saying about Stanton:
@NYsportsaddict_: “I’m sorry I love him but this has to be his last year on the team. Can not have a guy penciled in as your DH every year when he’s hurt for at least 3 months of every season.”
@UneasyPerk: “Dude’s been out for exactly 30 days. It’s insane”
@Nobody1526138: “We all appreciate what he’s done in the playoffs, but they have to cut him loose. I mean he’s taking up a roster spot and he’s only playing half the games every year. And when he does play, he’s as one dimensional as you get.”
@DJSatane: “he won’t be back until july”
