Stanton for the Marlins and Trout for the Angels.
I don't think it's Trout. Trout topped out at 45 HRs in 2019. Ohtani had 46 in 2021 and Troy Glaus had 47 in 2000. Glaus holds the Angels single season home run record.

BTW, Stanton...who the Giants didn't sign as a free agent...had 267 HRs for the Marlins and 135 in the six years he's been a Yankee. He's made $167 million from the Yanks.
Stanton is correct, he holds the Marlins record with 59 in 2017.
There are five other players who are still playing and hold franchise records, including:
Pete Alonso, Mets, 53, 2019
Matt Olson, Braves, 54, 2023
Jorge Soler, Royals, 48, 2019
Salvador Perez, Royals, 48, 2021
Aaron Judge, Yankees, 62, 2022
Interesting to me how many of the single season team HR records happened in the steroid era. 14 of the 30 teams date their single season HR record between 1997 and 2002.
There's four teams with older HR records. Harmon Killebrew hit 49 for the Twins in 1964 and 1969. Ralph Kiner holds the Pirates record with 54 in 1949. Hank Greenberg hit 58 for the Detroit Tigers in 1938. The oldest single-season team HR record belongs to Jimmie Foxx of the A's, with 58 in 1932.
