If you don't think he's likely to be traded, you guys aren't paying attention. He definitely does not want to be there anymore, the Marlins will not win in their situation, they desperately need to restock the pool, and his value is higher than ever.

You said almost 100% likely he is moved. Basically almost guaranteed to happen.

There's been chatter all season about Stanton moving and how new ownership wants to cut costs. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he's moved.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see them take a lesser return if another team eats a huge portion of the contract.

You very clearly said that it is "100% likely he is moved". The Marlins were in the race for a brief period of time, if the new ownership chooses to invest more money in the team, they won't be far off as contenders.
It sounds like he only wants out if they do a full blown rebuild and trade guys like Yelich, Ozuna, Bour, etc. Not "I want out now".

Why? For one, you have him locked up until he's 38, you have all of his prime years (unless he opts out in 2020 when he's 31). The per year value is a little more than Cano, its less than Miggy and you have him at a reasonable price for a couple years while similar players will be getting 30-40 million.
Plus he had his best season of his career and that was on a garbage team.
The Marlins have 300 million in debt, which is less than his total contract so I'm not surprised.
Imagine the Yanks did this and sign Harper next summer.... Stanton-Judge-Harper in the outfield then throw Sanchez in when they go to bat...... Jesus Christ.
Something like this deal would work, instead of eating the money they'd just have to take on a lesser contract like Ellsbury's.

This fanbase has been brutalized for a loooooong time now.
And here we are, staying down the barrel of another fire sale. I know for a fact some fans have already said they are thinking about switching allegiances. Can't blame them really. I'll stay, but it's going to be real real tough times ahead with another fire sale. Won't watch nearly as many games.

NTC = no trade clause, right?
I didn't think the Marlins gave them out, and he doesn't have 10-5 rights yet.
Correct on both accounts. That's why every Marlins' fan knows about it, the Marlins just didn't give those out.

He also said he wants to win and is tired of losing... so Phillies wouldn't make sense.
& I doubt the Marlins would send him to a divisional rival.

With 300 million in debt a teardown is necessary. The job will likely done right this time now that they have owners who actually give a shit and don't use the team as their bank account/fancy trophy.
I think Jeter might keep Mattingly around. Yankee loyalty.
