September 3, 201511 yr Hey what time are you all arriving for the meetings? Would anyone mind meeting me outside? I hate walking into these things alone.
September 3, 201511 yr http://nypost.com/2015/09/02/marlins-chaos-puts-giancarlo-stanton-on-clock-for-a-trade/ sigh... figures this type of junk would come up sooner rather than later.
September 3, 201511 yr Author http://nypost.com/2015/09/02/marlins-chaos-puts-giancarlo-stanton-on-clock-for-a-trade/ sigh... figures this type of junk would come up sooner rather than later. what a piece of shit article with no basis in reality
September 3, 201511 yr There's so much assuming and "Yankees wishful thinking" in that article. I thought Joel Sherman was better than that type of article.
September 3, 201511 yr Sherman totally left out the part about Stanton actually wanting changes because what's in place clearly hasn't worked. You don't just maintain the crap status quo for the sake of saying you have "stability" and Stanton knows that.
September 3, 201511 yr requesting a trade before 2020 has no downside for Stanton. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he did that in the next couple of years. the only way he could fuck up that contract is to opt out in 2020 with the Marlins (or whoever). he is injury prone, and set to make ~$100m from his age 35-38 seasons. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say he's not worth $25m/season when he's 37. but also if he was traded tomorrow to lets say... the Yankees, he'd become a super super super super star and could make $100m+ in endorsements in a god damn second.

But he won't because he's not there yet. The Sherman article is a Yankee fan pipe dream. Stanton wants to fix things here. He's not bailing out a year into this journey especially when change is coming. He'll ride out the new changes before making any decisions.
September 3, 201511 yr As much as this year sucks, I can see Stanton being more frustrated than angry. Frustrated he got injured and couldn't help his team. Frustrated that the moves that on paper seemed like good decisions turned out so poor. Frustrated that he had to play for yet another manager. I don't think the FO has burned all its capital with Stanton because of this disaster. They made an effort, it didn't turn out well, but with maybe the exception of the Jennings situation, the FO didn't do anything overtly embarrassing or dumb, this year at least.
September 3, 201511 yr The only ridiculous thing the Marlins did this season in terms of hurting their relationship with Stanton was firing Redmond (only to replace him with a complete boob). They held on to Ramos, they're not responsible for all of the injuries and they "spent" money in the off season. Problem is, when the Marlins have spent money on the last 10 years, it's been a disaster.

Problem is, when the Marlins have spent money on the last 10 years, it's been a disaster. the fish did try and make the team better last offseason. as long as they try again this offseason stanton should be fine until he has yet another "freak" injury to derail him for half the season.
September 3, 201511 yr I answered Sherman on Twitter in response to his stupid article on Stanton. Kept it civil because besides wanting to slap him there was also a fact or two I wanted him to know.
September 4, 201511 yr I just watched Dodgers game tonight. Mattingly's bullpen managing was so terrible thru his career, not just today game. I said no, Mattingly for next Marlins manger.
