November 12, 201312 yr MLB Network was saying he'll most likely be traded NEXT winter. Meh. If we can get an actual return for him and not 6 busts ...
November 13, 201312 yr I have always felt with these things a lot of analysts and commentators love to say the marlins will trade all their good players based of course on history, but also lack of knowledge of how the team and the contracts actually work. They are also fans of big market teams and secretly want these players on their teams. They like to equate the Stanton situation with the Uggla one. Where realistically its much more like Hanley where we wanted to build around him, signed him long term and kept him here for several years. Sure they traded him eventually but after 6 years and after he tanked w the team.
November 14, 201312 yr stanton will think before sign because he dont be with team that rebuilding for years
November 14, 201312 yr Most signs have pointed to him not wanting to be here anymore, particularly after the scorched earth plan last offseason. I don't blame him. So it wouldn't shock me if he would turn down an offer. He knows that he can get more from someone else anyway.
November 14, 201312 yr Where are these signs? Where?! ONE TWEET! That's it! Oh, he had a down year, I forgot, the universal sign of not wanting to be somewhere. I've seen no signs other than the tweet.
November 14, 201312 yr I have a really hard time seeing Stanton saying no to 90-100 million in guaranteed cash, even if he doesn't like it here. He can get used to it with all of that money.
November 14, 201312 yr Stanton will take the money if it's offered to him. Now it's just a matter of whether or not our terrible FO is going to offer it to him..
November 16, 201312 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/11/arbitration-breakdown-giancarlo-stanton.html MLB Trade Rumors arbitration projection for Giancarlo...
November 16, 201312 yr 16/300! 10/12/13/15/15/17/18/20/25/25/25/23/22/22/20/18 Tsk....typical Marlins contract backloading!
November 16, 201312 yr It's midloading! D: And regressing towards the end. It's all a fair contract and all that jizzy-jazz.
November 16, 201312 yr I think he gets 6 million or so. Do you think the fish end up agreeing to terms with him or if the arb courts will be the ultimate decider?
November 16, 201312 yr I hope they come to terms... arbitration process sucks when you're trying to woo a player to stay.
November 16, 201312 yr I think he gets 6 million or so. Do you think the fish end up agreeing to terms with him or if the arb courts will be the ultimate decider?I think we come to terms with him.
November 17, 201312 yr I'm still waiting for this supposed offer to happen. It really needs to be done this offseason if it's going to get done at all.
November 18, 201312 yr Can't wait to hear SOMETHING new from the FO. Even if a contract is rejected, would like to know something was attempted. Right now it all sounds like speculation. Oh well, still have lots of off season to go. Swear these months are the slowest.
November 22, 201312 yr Jayson Stark of ESPN seems to think that the Marlins are going to defer offering Stanton a contract for another year. http://espn.go.com/mlb/hotstove13/story/_/id/10007705/sizing-market-robinson-cano

November 22, 201312 yr That does sound like the FO though. They'd rather put this off. But it's dumb of them to think that next year's team is going to look radically different from the one that finished 2013.
November 22, 201312 yr But it's dumb of them to think that next year's team is going to look radically different from the one that finished 2013. No it's not. We're going into the year with a healthy rotation that is established, a solid bullpen with no holes, a healthy LoMo from day 1, Christian Yelich from day 1, Derek Dietrich from day 1, and Marcell Ozuna from day 1. This team should be much improved over last year without any acquisitions at all.

Fair enough, but to say this team won't look radically different is not right. It's a very, very different team.
November 22, 201312 yr You are right Wild Card. But, without a lot of positive additions, this is still about a 100-loss team.
