Yankees DH Giancarlo Stanton's Hall of Fame outlook gets brutally honest takes
The post Yankees DH Giancarlo Stanton's Hall of Fame outlook gets brutally honest takes appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins on Monday, partly thanks to Giancarlo Stanton's 460th career home run. It has been a roller coaster run for Stanton in The Bronx, but he is hot right now. Despite his gaudy power numbers, Stanton is far from a lock for the Baseball Hall of Fame thanks to injuries and a lack of defensive value. Jomboy Media pundits Chris Rose and Trevor Plouffe spoke about Stanton's Cooperstown chances. 'I think there's a chance, Chris. Plouffe said when asked if Stanton could be left out of the Hall of Fame, 'I want him in the Hall of Fame. I think you can't just all of a sudden shut people out. I mean, the 500 Homer club means you're in the Hall of Fame. Like, unless you're on PEDs.' 'I don't think so either,' Rose responded. 'Because he's going to just crawl up the WAR board, he's not going to have a season where it's five. The guy who is in the 500 Homer club and in the Hall of Fame that has the lowest WAR is David Ortiz, and his is right around 55 or 56.' Stanton has a career bWAR of 46.1. The Yankees have gotten great performances out of Stanton this year, bringing his bWAR to 1.1 in 41 games. That is his first season over 1.0 since 2021, where he was at 3.1. He has not received an MVP vote since 2018, when he finished 19th. There are plenty of true designated hitters in the Baseball Hall of Fame, including Ortiz. Edgar Martinez, Harold Baines, and Frank Thomas are also in the Hall. He has a lower career OPS than Ortiz, Martinez, and Thomas. Baines was elected Today's Game Era Committee, not the BBWAA. Stanton will be 36 years old on Opening Day next year. Could he play through the end of his contract in 2028 and crush the 500-homer threshold?

Trevor Plouffe Sends Warning to Detroit Tigers Ahead of Series vs. Orioles
Trevor Plouffe Sends Warning to Detroit Tigers Ahead of Series vs. Orioles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers enjoyed a day off on Monday as they basked in the glow of their American League best 43-24 record. Advertisement The Tigers also found themselves a half game ahead of the National League's New York Mets for the best record in Major League Baseball. Detroit is scheduled to take on the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium in downtown Baltimore. Recently, former MLB player Trevor Plouffe was featured on the Instagram account of longtime host Chris Rose as he shared a warning with the Tigers franchise about a fierce competitor worth keeping an eye on in the American League West. Jake Meyers rounds the bases during a June 8 game vs. the Guardians. © Ken Blaze-Imagn Images "The Astros could overtake the Tigers as the best team in the American League," the Chris Rose Sports page wrote on Instagram in a video clip viewed over 67,000 times. Advertisement "The thing with the Tigers that worries me is, they're very young," Plouffe said. "And like, you know, they've only started winning recently and the air in the clubhouse is different when there's like expectations and things like that." "Even with different personnel, the vibe in the Astros' clubhouse has always been the same, the standard has always been high even through new managers... You know, if I'm a bettin' man, and I'm betting what team do I think has a better record at the end, I still kind of feel like it's the Astros."

Chris Rose Calls Out Media For 'Witch Hunt' Against Mets' Juan Soto
The New York Mets locked up former Yankees outfielder Juan Soto with a 15-year, $765 million contract this past offseason, giving the team a bona fide front line hitter with a superstar's charisma to aid their quest for their first World Series title since 1986. Soto has responded with an uncharacteristically down season by his standards as he has hit just .246 on the season with 8 home runs and 20 RBI, one season after his 41-homer, 109 RBI season across town. Advertisement On Tuesday, longtime Fox Sports personality Chris Rose took to his X account to share a video of his thoughts on what he has deemed a 'witch hunt' surrounding Soto heading into the meat of the Mets' schedule. A fan holds up an anti-Juan Soto fan at a Yankees game on May 16, 2025. © John Jones-Imagn Images Rose played a clip of Soto being grilled by reporters about allegedly running slow out of the batter's box during a recent game, a concern Soto brushed off. The negativity surrounding Soto led Rose to declare the situation a "bit witch hunty," as he shared additional thoughts. "You know, Michael Kay reported that Soto wanted to stay with the Yankees (before heading to the Mets this past offseason), there was another report from Bob Klapisch who's been around the game a long time saying the Mets aren't happy with Soto's lack of enthusiasm, like, all this stuff it feels a little witch-hunty to me," a fired up Rose said in the video. Advertisement "Now, to me, the problem is this, I never have a problem criticizing a player for something that I see, that happens, I have a hard time doing it trying to get inside of somebody's head. "I think that is a dangerous place to live," Rose continued. Related: Mets' Carlos Mendoza Breaks Silence After Disagreement With Juan Soto
