Stanton's record-setting 13-year deal will be official on Wednesday morning, and you can watch it happen.
Giancarlo Stanton's $325 million contract will be official on Wednesday morning, and thanks to modern technology you can watch history as it happens. The Marlins and Stanton are hosting a press conference at 11 am eastern on Wednesday to officially announce the deal a few days after word broke that it was happening.
The $325 million Stanton will receive is a record, as is the 13-year player contract. Albert Pujols signed a longer deal with the Angels before 2012, but only 10 years of it came as a player -- the rest is as basically a representative of the Angels where they can use his name and likeness to their benefit. Only six years of the deal are guaranteed, but that was Stanton's choice: the deal is heavily back-loaded to after Stanton's opt-out, which comes after 2020, so he still has the chance to escape Miami if they don't prove as competitive and spend-happy as he's been promised.
