TOO MUCH MYSTERY SURROUNDING STANTON'S PAINFUL ELBOWS

Let’s break this down because something here doesn’t add up. It's like a weird mystery. 

Giancarlo Stanton, a guy who absolutely crushed it in the playoffs and World Series—dinger after dinger—shows up to spring training and suddenly can’t swing a bat because of both elbows? And somehow, he hasn’t even picked up a bat while in Tampa, yet his elbows are in pain and for Giancarlo and for us Yankee fans, this is already a problem. It doesn’t make sense.

We see these elite athletes making millions to play a game, and Stanton, to his credit, treats his body like a temple. The guy is shredded. But this whole situation feels off. And here’s where it gets even worse—the latest report claims Stanton’s elbows have been bothering him since 2023. Yeah, you read that right.

Funny, because not once last season did we hear about any elbow issues. No mentions. No whispers. And yet, all of a sudden, the Yankees drop a little breadcrumb like this has been an ongoing thing? Where was this information last year? I even searched around, and the only mention of this so-called long-term injury comes from the latest reports about his current status. Convenient.

And the pain? We’re being told it’s a “very high level of pain.” But here’s where things get even sketchier—reports claim Stanton was heading to New York to see team doctors because he hadn’t swung a bat in about a month. Then, later, Aaron Boone—always the Yankees’ go-to for vague and misleading updates—says that’s not true. Instead, Stanton went to New York for a “personal matter.” The reports quickly changed. Personal Matter? Come on, stop lying.

See what’s happening here? The Yankees are keeping everyone in the dark, as usual. No one knows the real story, and frankly, that’s exactly how they want it. But let’s be real—something isn’t right.

For reference, this is the same Giancarlo Stanton who hit .273 with 15 hits, 7 home runs, 16 RBIs, and 9 runs in 14 postseason games last year. Now, he hasn’t swung a bat in four weeks and is already ruled out for Opening Day. And we’re supposed to believe this is an injury from 2023?

I'm allowed to be skeptical. I'm a fan.

Yeah. Okay. Stay tuned.
