November 25, 20187 yr Sure, why not. Let's dangle Caleb Smith and Starlin Castro at them and see if they bite.
November 25, 20187 yr Author Sure, why not. Let's dangle Caleb Smith and Starlin Castro at them and see if they bite. Only if they pay the entire contract outside of 30 million if he opts in.
November 25, 20187 yr What would both Stanton and the Yankees fans say if that actually happened? It would be funny compared to all they said when he got traded from here in the first place.
November 26, 20187 yr It'll be funny when they get back a bunch of better prospects than what we got for him.
November 26, 20187 yr It'll be funny when they get back a bunch of better prospects than what we got for him. If the Yankees agree to continue to pay his contract then yes they will get better prospects. Stanton's trade from here was primarily for salary relief and we got that. People can't neglect that fact yet they still do.

November 27, 20187 yr I just read the actual article and it says keeping Stanton for the next ten years would most likely be cheaper than signing Harper or Machando. Imagine that. Why even trade the guy?
November 27, 20187 yr Author Why even trade the guy? They aren't enamored with him I guess, love affairs end quickly up there.
November 27, 20187 yr They aren't enamored with him I guess, love affairs end quickly up there. I know it's the Yankees so money isn't always a factor but it's not like it's a minimum salary we're talking about but to trade a guy making $300 million to be able to sign a guy who might approach $400 million when there's no guarantee the new guy can perform any better than the $300 million guy is ridiculous to me. In this scenario, Giancarlo freakin Stanton is a relative bargain... how stupid to trade that.

November 28, 20187 yr I say if the Marlins can trade for him, and get the Yankees to eat the money for a prospect or two- I'd jump all over it. Seriously. Heck, send Realmuto, and prospects to the Yankees for Giancarlo, Sanchez and Cash and the Marlins might come out looking super savvy sending a player away for a year to get the contract paid off. I'd let someone borrow my car for a year to pay it off for 9 more.
November 30, 20187 yr The trade never really made sense for the Yankees in the first place. True, but he carried that team as much as he could this year with Sanchez, Didi,and Judge all going down.
