Marlins gave away Miggy and Stanton. This is sad.

Man the Marlins are gonna suck this year.

Predictable.

Good luck, AL East

Giancarlo Stanton is in Hal's box, and Giancarlo Stanton is coming to the Yankees! Oh my goodness gracious, of all the dramatic things.

Of all the dramatic things I have ever seen, Giancarlo Stanton standing right in Hal Steinbrenner's box is announcing he is here. Giancarlo Stanton is a New York Yankee. And there we go John.

You should see what is going on in the Yankees dugout. The grin on Aaron Judge's face. Masahiro Tanaka knew. Big sized Giancarlo Stanton is now a Yankee. Attention fans, he is here and now we don't have to discuss who takes that place in the lineup.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

They can now build a package around Clint Frazier for something they really need.

Cashman is great.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

So uh, who moves out of RF?

 

[TootooTrain]

Good luck, AL East

Rip. Good timing for a retool.

 

[DougieSmash]

how ironic, jeter give away stanton to yankees.

Depends on Judge making adjustments. If he can stop striking out, then teams won’t be able to pitch around him anymore. I feel he was the victim of many borderline calls since he was a rookie, it was kind of absurd in the playoffs.

Also Sanchez is essentially useless if teams just throw curveballs. He has to wake up too.

The Jeter thing reminds me of Gasol getting traded to the Lakers for peanuts when Jerry West was on his way out. Almost like a parting gift. Although it's clear here his massive contract killed his value. I still thought the Dodgers were going to snatch him last minute.

Predictable.

Yup. Lol, almost inevitable. Its almost kind of sad that two teams pitched for him enthusiastically to no avail and the the Yankees just come in and snatch him. They certainly don't think small in the Bronx. With that kind of legacy to uphold you can't, really.

I'm mildly annoyed but at least a premier player is going to a baseball Mecca and won't have his career wasted down there anymore.

And if only I could marry Megan Markle instead of the prince. Sometimes, things just aren’t in the cards. Judge will always strike out above a 20% cut. Whether he drops below 30% is the question, but he very well could be pitched harder this year.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What's the return?

Judge, Stanton and Sanchez. Baby Bombers just reached puberty, wow!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

What's the return?

Starlin Castro and non-top prospects.

Wow! That's great.

Yikes. A silver slugger award winner needs to wake up. Watch out baseball.

Once it was clear he just swings at every single curveball, he didn’t accomplish much, like his sub .200 OBP in the postseason shows. Great regular season, sure, but the book was out on him late.

But now he’s the #3 guy on the offence. That should help.

Nats fans have to be really happy about this. Probably ends the Harper to Yankees talk

Small sample size.

Why wasn't the book out on him after his amazing rookie season?

The one where he’s played 50 games? Come inn. And his OPS+ dropped 40 points so clearly there was an effect.

Totally unreasonable to expect him to keep the rookie pace with historic numbers.

He was still by far the best player at his position his sophomore season. I don't see why 13 playoff games should change that.
