Stanton agreed a 13-year contract with the Marlins this week worth $325million - a record in American sport - inking the deal in front of assembled media on Wednesday.
The longest agreement in baseball history includes a no-trade clause and Stanton can opt out after six years, in which time he will have earned $107 million.
A two-time All Star, Stanton enjoyed a sparkling 2014, picking up the National League's Hank Aaron Award and topping the home-run charts, clearing the fences 37 times.
Though the Marlins have not reached the play-offs since 2003, Stanton has been reassured by team owner Jeff Loria that the future is bright in Florida and he hopes to play a key role.
"You can't keep saying, 'We're going to win this year. We're going to do it this year'," Stanton said.
"I'm sick of hearing that. Everyone is sick of hearing that. It's doing something about it.
"Everyone wants to talk about the record-breaking deal but I want records on the field.
"I want to do things on the field and that's what it is all about.
"They had the contract there, and I put it aside and said 'Listen, what are we going to do to make this better?'
"I'm financially good for the rest of my life. Great.
"But I'm not coming here to get my butt kicked for 10 hours every day and then going home to a lavish lifestyle. That's not fun for me."
