November 21, 201213 yr I think if they offer him a contract/ it'll need to ga e a NTC to get him to sign it. At that point, it becomes a "who will fold first game" the marlins in giving it, or GS27 in giving up in getting it. Once a NTC is on the table, a contract should get done.

November 21, 201213 yr Stanton for Profar, Olt, Martin Perez, and Leonys Martin would be pretty fair. Oh go suck an egg! Stanton needs to stay right here in Miami!
November 21, 201213 yr I hope he gets traded this offseason because they're gonna trade him, anyway. Really though, I wish he'd stay. Nah. If they don't try to extend him I'm pretty sure that's when all hell will break loose and Selig will step in.
November 21, 201213 yr He should have been extended already. Extend him. Then trade him! Good thinking!
November 21, 201213 yr The Marlins will offer Stanton 10 years/$200 million and he will reluctantly accept it.
November 21, 201213 yr The Marlins will offer Stanton 10 years/$200 million and he will reluctantly accept it. If you listen to Josh Johnsons interview with Dan Lebatard, he was asked if he thought if stanton would stay here in Miami, he said hell probably be with us for at least one year but hell br gone after.
November 21, 201213 yr Jeff Passan �@JeffPassan If Jeffrey Loria weren't clueless, he would trade Giancarlo Stanton for a Herschel Walker-type package -- now. Column: http://yhoo.it/Qah6IN Jeff Passan �@JeffPassan Executives agreed: Stanton would fetch perhaps the biggest package of prospects ever. Up to 6, with at least 3 top-line, major league-ready.
November 21, 201213 yr All this talk of should trade him is going to get him traded. And thats bulls***
November 21, 201213 yr The problem is not many teams are going to completely decimate their farm system for one player, even if it is Stanton. We'd have to find a team with a rich farm and whose only a player or two away from competing or needs that final piece to get to the World Series. We're looking at a select few teams, and they may not even have what we're looking for in terms of prospects.

If Stanton gets traded, I'd imagine multiple teams would be involved as not sure a single team could provide the proper prospect return

A buster posey, Todd Frazier, or similar would be involved. It would have to be a team desperate for power. Seattle, and Jesus Montero. Players of that caliper and then some. They cant trade away stanton for A,AA or AAA talent.
November 21, 201213 yr Exactly, stanton has power you reminisce about with the greats and can only get better. He hit 37 hrs on one leg with missing a month or two. You give him you're checkbook and tell him write his own check. Then you tell him to write the checks to players he wants to play with in FA. A lineup of Arod, stanton, Hamilton would have been great to see, even with gorkys and Pierre in it. Assholes.
November 21, 201213 yr Just read Passan's article and he just seems to think that a team will be willing to empty their farm system completely for Stanton. Don't see that happening. If we do trade Stanton (which I really hope we don't), expect to be underwhelmed by the return.

November 21, 201213 yr i really can't wait till he gets traded for can't miss prospects like cameron maybin and andrew miller. he aint gonna sign a long term contract, and if he does he will get traded at one point or another. such well ran operation.

Needed some Loria bashing this morning.
November 21, 201213 yr I'd absolutely trade him if we can get 3 top prospects from any system. PReferably the Pirates, D-Backs, or Rangers. Cole and Taillon and a lesser prospect Skaggs and Bauer Olt, Profar and Perez. Maybe ask for Machado and Bundy. I would do any of those trades. Our pitching in the future would be absolutely unbelievable. He will not re-sign here, we did this to ourselves, so if you can get a huge package like those do it and dont look back.
November 21, 201213 yr If Stanton is dealt, I'm hoping it's to Seattle. I would want Pittsburgh or Arizona. PItching, pitching pitching.
