Trade: [MIA/NYY] Stanton + $30m for Castro, Guzman, Devers

[Cody Webster]

Disgusting

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

He'll just go to the Cubs or Phillies which would be far worse for the Nats.

Welp. baseball likely goes on the back burner for me until playoffs. If they are as entertaining as last year.

i love them both

 

[John Price]

Before people complain I have been advocating the Yankee club for nearly 16 years, and for nearly 3 years before the Nationals came to town!

I am so happy that they made this big deal!

If he opts out, that's a good thing for the Yankees.

Why is that?

As we know, it's just Castro+ for Stanton?

I have not seen any other name leaked yet but there are hints like:

Bronx bombers!

how ironic, jeter give away stanton to yankees.

It's called a sleeper agent. But seriously, this was so predictable, it's depressing.

 

[Cassano]

This is why they're getting Stanton for peanuts. The main reason.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

So basically 2-3 M per season.

3.5 M if Heyman is right:

Just read that even with Stanton NY is still expected to be below luxury tax threshold. If so, this is even more of a no-brainer. Stanton essentially replaces CC’s money (25M last year)...not to mention Castro and his 10M are gone as well and what Miami is paying. Great move by Cashman as much as it pains me to say.

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.



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.

except jerry west wasn't the grizzlies GM when that trade was made. chris wallace was

but it's really no surprise that jeter ends up dealing stanton to NY. it'll be interesting to see if NYY top prospects like torres or florial are involved

I wouldn't say that.

This trade is exactly like the A-Rod one in 2004... top player with huge contract goes to the Yanks for cheap.

 

[canucksfan]

What's going to piss me off is not the fact he's going to the Yankees, but he will be traded away for peanuts likely.

Why is that?

Just not a fan of silly, predictable, nonsense.

He rejected two other trades. Just not my style at all, and again I've been in and out of baseball for a few years. But after last years post season it brought back the drive, and now this just knocks it away for me again, for now.

Player works his ass off to be good enough to warrant a NTC, then people get mad when he uses it. If he didn't want to play in St Louis/San Fran, why on earth would he waive his NTC?

He earned that NTC. - I would direct blame at the Marlins owners for gifting him that horrendous contract.

It is pretty funny seeing a post like this considering you're a Phillies fan. Remember they signed Cliff Lee on a sweetheart deal in additon to already having a rotation with Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt?

Best offseason move for the Yankees? Jeter going into the Marlins front office.

I’m just baffled why a guy from California wouldn’t want to go to California, especially a team that’s shown you they know how to win as of late and why the hell didn't LA try to get him? Or did they briefly? I forget
