November 17, 201411 yr So is it technically signed Lawrence? They are in agreement that the contact will get signed. It's pretty much done. Its' not a up in the air thing when signing a free agent and we gotta wait on the passing the physical results.
November 17, 201411 yr Usually its 10%, good thing about Florida is no state income tax. So Giancarlo is banking! lol
November 17, 201411 yr Can we please lock up the rest of the core early? Let's start with Yelich. Go! Yes! Start with Yelich who I think they have an excellent chance with getting it done early. Especially now that he knows Stanton will be hitting behind him for the next 5 years at least!!
November 17, 201411 yr 1st the narrative was they wont sign Stanton long-term because we're cheap; yada yada... now all we're gonna hear is.. "ok, when are they gonna trade him" ugh, so annoying.
November 17, 201411 yr Usually its 10%, good thing about Florida is no state income tax. So Giancarlo is banking! lol It's not 10%. That was a long time ago.
November 17, 201411 yr Author 1st the narrative was they wont sign Stanton long-term because we're cheap; yada yada... now all we're gonna hear is.. "ok, when are they gonna trade him" ugh, so annoying. Also reading a lot of "Way to go Loria, cripple the team forever with a big contract"
November 17, 201411 yr Why didn't I become a player agent? lets become agents.. our 1st client shall be Wes Helms.. his return!
November 17, 201411 yr Author lets become agents.. our 1st client shall be Wes Helms.. his return! Greg Dobbs combo contract
November 17, 201411 yr Greg Dobbs combo contract our motto will be -- "cool. international. miami. horny"
November 17, 201411 yr What is it? I believe it's 3-5%, depending on a lot of things. Stanton's agent? Probably 3% because he's a superstar.
November 17, 201411 yr Yeah just looking it up I see that. Scott Boras ranks around the highest right near 5%
November 17, 201411 yr Also reading a lot of "Way to go Loria, cripple the team forever with a big contract" It's true unless we become a $100m payroll team soon. I'd imagine Loria has promised Stanton this will happen. Has Stanton bought his house yet?
November 17, 201411 yr Yeah just looking it up I see that. Scott Boras ranks around the highest right near 5% Exactly. Boras might be able to get you more, but he will take more. Stanton basically writes his own check, no need to pay someone 5%.
November 17, 201411 yr This has to rank up there in the top five of greatest Marlins moments as a franchise. I'm guessing Opening day, WS 1, WS 2, New Stadium, and Giancarlo Contract? Also, I am not worried about him opting out in five years. A lot can happen in five years both good or bad. Heck, many on this board predicted that the chance to sign Stanton long term had passed and he just agreed to sign the richest contract in all of sports history. Just saying that the future is hard to predict. Great job by Hill, and Jennings, and yes, thank you Loria. Now let's build a team around him!!!
November 17, 201411 yr Well Lawrence, I hate to be a stickler but... Joe Frisaro ✔ @JoeFrisaro Hearing the #Marlins Giancarlo Stanton reports are "premature." Sounding more like they are wrapping up loose ends before announcement
November 17, 201411 yr Author Well Lawrence, I hate to be a stickler but... It IS done but since it isn't official, keep the clock running
November 17, 201411 yr Well Lawrence, I hate to be a stickler but... Joe Frisaro ✔ @JoeFrisaro Hearing the #Marlins Giancarlo Stanton reports are "premature." Sounding more like they are wrapping up loose ends before announcement theyve been doing that all freaking weekend.. HURRY UP!
November 17, 201411 yr Let's pretend it's 2010 for a second. Someone says: "After the 2014 season, the Braves will trade Jason Heyward and the Marlins will lock up Stanton for basically his entire career." How do you react? Go.
