After hitting 59 home runs and driving in 132 runs in 2017, Stanton emerged as the game’s premier power hitter, and could be the cure the Giants are looking to find after the team finished with a 64-98 record this season.

AT&T Park is where power hitters go to die. Though that statement might not be entirely true, it’s the narrative that exists in the post-Barry Bonds baseball world. It’s why even the most optimistic San Francisco Giants’ fans have concerns about the franchise being able to acquire top power hitters, and why Miami Marlins’ slugger Giancarlo Stanton might not be an ideal fit in the cavernous confines of China Basin.
