Which brings us to the question....
Does anyone besides Aroid really want Aroid to break any record?

I'm not saying Stanton is going to do hit, but I think he has the best chance of anyone under 30. I think he's being overlooked

RE: Who will break HR record now?
I thought Ryan Howard would have a chance considering he was averaging nearly 50 HRs a year for 4 years from 2006-2009, but he dropped off since then.
While the average of 38 HRs a season for 20 years seems crazy, it is even crazier to consider what a player has to hit each year to get that average. Most great power hitters will have a peak and play near their top for a decade, and then degrade slowly from there.
Here is a rundown of how a 20 year career would have to go in order to get to the HR record:
10 seasons averaging 45 HRs = 450
With a degrade of 5% every year means the following break down
year 11 = 41 HRs, 491 total
year 12 = 39 HRs, 530 total
year 13 = 37 HRs, 567 total
year 14 = 35 HRs, 602 total
year 15 = 33 HRs, 635 total
year 16 = 31 HRs, 666 total
year 17 = 29 HRs, 695 total
year 18 = 27 HRs, 722 total
year 19 = 26 HRs, 748 total
year 20 = 25 HRs, 773 total
You can obviously move the years around a little bit but this gives an idea as to what would have to happen. Alternatively a player could hit 60-70 HRs a year and get there much quicker, but being able to maintain that many HRs each year would definitely make people 2nd guess their cleanliness.

I'm still sticking with my answer.
The world will end before the HR record is broken.
