The Stanton Sweepstakes

[Troll Daddy]

I think with Ohtani/Upton signing with the Angels and a chance to play next to Trout with a strong opportunity to win a championship   ... Stanton would sign off on his no trade clause. 

If you can get Stanton at $25M per year ?

With Gordon out of Miami, any chance of a Stanton deal went from minuscule to basically non-existent. Dee was the key to possibly wrenching a deal into something that made economic sense, but there isn't anything else in Miami that'd be accomplish that. 

The Dodgers would have to completely refuse to bite and the Marlins would have to get exceptionally desperate at this point.

i don't see how that makes sense.

 

i don't see how gordon being gone makes the stanton deal any more difficult. the idea that the two had to be tied together was related to the speculation that it would mean there would be no or little prospect return. 

the truth is, the stanton trade was never going to be about prospects or team needs or any other such business. it's going to be about where will he accept a trade and how much money the marlins are going to have to eat in order to get to their bottom line, which is the only thing that matters to the marlins right now...the bottom line payroll number.

I am only against it if it causes the team to let Trout walk.  It would give them three marketable players even though one wants very little to do with being marketed.

Sounds more like Trout would want to stay not walk. 

[Ohtani&Trout]

I don't think the Angels would ever consider trading for Stanton if it'd prevent them from keeping Trout.

Giancarlo Stanton declines trades to Giants, Cardinals

[beatlesrule]

I don't see the correlation with Trout not getting extended if Stanton is traded to Anaheim.  If Mike wants to stay here, he will stay here.  Has there been any indication that he must be the highest paid player of all time?  Weaver left like 40 million on the table to stay with the Angels.  Is there any evidence whatsoever that Trout wants or must get 400 million or whatever?  The Angels could afford both players and would have their OF set for years.  It would also be in discussion for the top 5 OF of all time. I am on record stating that Arte won't spend that much money and get Stanton but that doesn't mean he couldn't afford to while staying under the cap.

Interesting part of this is IF they get Stanton,  they will be out of the running for Harper next year......

It sounds stupid, but i would even prefer that.

[Ohtani&Trout]

Meh. Don't really care. Stanton was never a need for the Angels. He would've been a nice luxury to have, that's it.

[arch stanton]

Stanton seems redundant on the Yankees since they have a pre-arb version of him already 

[bloodbrother]

 

[vladdy#27]

Castro doesn’t really fit on a team trying to cut payroll. He’s owed 10.8M next year, 11.8M in 2019, and has a 16M team option (1M buyout) for 2020. Seems like a way for the Yankees to cut a bit of payroll so they can take on Stanton

So my guess is that the Marlins would try and trade him upon acquiring him. That gives us another option for 2B. Wouldn’t be my first option, but probably wouldn’t cost too much. 

[m0nkey]

Much rather have the yankees get him than the dogs.

 

No trolling here @Taylor

[bloodbrother]

Marlins come out of this fools. Entire point of them moving Stanton was to get some financial relief and to get out from that contract. They won't be accomplishing this at all since they'll need to take on some bad contracts from the Yankees AND get no real top notch prospects back.

So lets see.  The Yanks trading for Stanton and not giving up the top prospects to the Marlins owned by Jeter.  Nothing fishy going on here at all.  

[gotbeer]

Yeah, so the giants would have given up their top 4 prospects including the 56th ranked one.  Yanks not so much.

Giancarlo Stanton Trade Offer from Giants Reportedly Revealed

Quote

According to Craig Mish of SiriusXM, the Giants' offer includes right-handed pitcher Tyler Beede, outfielder Heliot Ramos, infielder Christian Arroyo and first baseman/outfielder Chris Shaw. 

The proposed deal reported Tuesday by Mish features the Giants' top four prospects, per MLB.com. Arroyo is the highest-ranked prospect, No. 56 overall, and he made his MLB debut last season with a .192/.244/.304 slash line in 34 games.

It honestly is a blessing the Giants didn't get him tbh. That team shouldn't be selling its entire farm system off. They kind of need to do a reset with their roster.

[southpaw]

San Francisco reminds me alot of the Phillies several years ago and the Tigers 2 years ago. They are better off selling some of their assets. They need to reset their roster or they are going to be in for a long time of losing.
