Giancarlo Stanton Trade Speculation Thread

[GKJ]

When teams start saying that they're out, that usually means the winner is very close to being determined.

Stanton wants the Dodgers/Yankees more than they want Stanton. It will be an absolute fleecing of a deal similar to the Soriano for ARod trade.

A rebuilding team with tons of budget room (White Sox? Royals?) should get in on this and make it a 3-way trade. Take on a bad contract if you get a good prospect.

Friedman/Zaidi seem to get pretty creative with three-way deals, too, so that makes a ton of sense. (See: Alex Wood trade, Todd Frazier trade, Kemp-Grandal trade).

I really don't think the Astros need him. Sure it would create some headlines and sell a lot of jerseys but I don't think it would make sense for them.

True and it might be better off to use that money towards Altuve's next contact.

It's an impossible question to answer without discussing the financial component of it. If Houston took on the full contract - or close to it - my guess is they can probably get him without surrendering Tucker or Whitley.

Fair enough....local writer thinks Astros are out. Too much money.

Wouldn't surprise me if they landed Stanton and a 'minor' piece in the trade that ends up being an MVP or something.

The Yankees would be ridiculously right-handed but who cares?

My oh my.

At least Harper can't go there next year if Judge and Stanton are in the corners...right?

 

[hockeykicker]

Will Stanton waive for the Yankees?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The tweet last night on the previous page from a Miami reporter made it clear he would.



Cashman is a boss. It's not as if they truly NEED Stanton but this is a chance to get a superstar at probably 50 cents on the dollar and that's why they are going to do it. Watch it not include Torres, Frazier and Adams.

 

[hockeykicker]

I'm not seeing Ellsburry accepting a trade to Miami

 

[Cassano]

I'll admit I'm the biggest homer on these boards, but I expect Cashman to absolutely fleece the Marlins.

No your not haha

No your not haha

Yeah not even close.

Only because KBIB's gone missing.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

And...here...we...go.

Castro + Ellsbury + Adams + Frazier is my guess.

Why would Ellsburry waive his no trade?

If he was told Marlins were buying him out and he can become a FA.

Maybe I'm wrong but wouldn't that be the opposite of trying to get rid of money?

 

[hockeykicker]

Doesn't sound like Marlins want any contracts back

 

[Blitzkrug]

That would be legitimately terrifying if he goes to the Bronx.

That core + a potential Stanton addition + the potential addition of another mega-contract (hello Harper/Machado) if the Yankees decided to choose to go that way.

Evil empire? please, they just upgraded their old death star into starkiller base with that type of lineup.

 

[darko]

If the Yankees get Stanton they won't have money for Harper or Machado. Whatever money there's left it'll go towards pitching.
