Yankees deal for Stanton, sources say

MIAMI — After helping the New York Yankees to five World Series titles, Derek Jeter might help them win another.

The Yankees and Jeter’s Miami Marlins agreed to a trade that would send National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton to New York, pending a physical, a person familiar with the negotiations said Saturday.

Second baseman Starlin Castro would go to Miami as part of the trade, a second person familiar with the negotiations said. A third person said the Marlins would also receive prospects Jorge Guzman, a right-hander, and Jose Devers, an infielder who is a cousin of Boston prospect Rafael Devers.

The third person said the deal calls for the Marlins to send $30 million to the Yankees if Stanton doesn’t exercise his right to opt out of his contract and become a free agent after the 2020 season.

Stanton has a no-trade clause in his record 13-year, $325 million contract and has indicated he will approve the trade, one of the people said.

The Yankees would pair Stanton with Aaron Judge, who led the American League with 52 home runs in his rookie season.

An eight-year veteran with 267 home runs, Stanton has never played on a winning team and might now go to a club that hasn’t had a losing record since 1992.

New Yankees manager Aaron Boone, along with the front office, would have to sort out where Stanton will play. He has played his entire big-league career in right field, as has Judge. The Yankees also have the option of using one of them as a designated hitter.
