One of baseball’s brightest stars is heading to one of the sport’s biggest markets, and the newspapers in that town couldn’t be happier.
The New York Yankees sent shockwaves through Major League Baseball on Saturday by pulling off a trade with the Miami Marlins for superstar slugger Giancarlo Stanton. The move gives the Yankees an incredibly stacked lineup and makes them a legitimate contender heading into next season.
