Stanton relishing Yankees role as deal completed

National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton completed his blockbuster move to the New York Yankees on Monday and revealed the iconic franchise had always been his preferred destination. Stanton said he had been impressed by the way the Yankees developed last season, where they fell just short of a place in the World Series after losing out to eventual winners the Houston Astros. The 28-year-old Los Angeles native had been linked with moves to several clubs, with the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers among several teams in the hunt for his signature.
