In a move that has stunned the baseball world, Dakota Stilts, the electrifying star of the Savannah Bananas, has officially turned down jaw-dropping $5.7 million offers from both the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Instead of chasing Major League riches, Stilts has chosen loyalty, passion, and community—committing his future to the team that made him a household name.
Stilts, widely known for his showmanship, athletic flair, and unmatched ability to electrify a crowd, has become the face of Banana Ball, the fast-paced, fan-first version of the sport that has taken America by storm.

For the Bananas, Stilts’s loyalty is a major win. It ensures that their most dynamic player remains at the heart of their roster, thrilling audiences nationwide and helping to grow the phenomenon of Banana Ball. For fans, it’s a symbol of authenticity in an era often defined by big contracts and high-profile trades.
