GIANCARLO STANTON TRADED TO YANKEES FOR CASTRO/GUZMAN/DEVERS

[bstanwood]

I'd give another bat prospect to avoid putting a pitcher in the deal. The Sox have hard time drafting major league starters they can't afford to toss them in deal, decent bats seem to fall from the sky to Fenway though.

Here’s what local St. Louis sports radio personality Bernie Miklasz had to say this morning about the Cardinals chances of landing Giancarlo Stanton.

Bernie also discuss the San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies future payroll situations, and what impact that may have on those teams landing Stanton.

Stanton’s desire to actually win is also questioned.

It’s a decent listen for Cardinals and Giants fans especially.

I'll have to listen when I get a chance. I cannot understand why SF would want him.

I'm hearing more things that Miami is looking for pitching, who isn't, considering that St Louis probably has the best chance. I'm not even sure how San Fran is in the race, that farm system is rough

Not only is the system rough, I believe they are second is payroll already dedicated to next year. They r way better selling off assets and starting over. They're not one player away from contending IMO

Yeah, Bernie breaks down the payroll numbers of the Giants over the course of the next several years and explains why that may be an issue in acquiring Stanton.

Holy f**kballs $181 million!?!? I had no clue their 2018 payroll was so high. Now I understand why the Giants make no sense to be in the running for Stanton. Likely no postseason will be played with no prospects to trade or money that can be paid...so why get Stanton to play?

 

[bstanwood]

I haven't really listened to a lot of the stuff regarding the Giants, didn't know their payroll number was that big, knew it was high but that's huge, I'm not sure how they keep coming up in this discussion either

I can see the Sox trading JBJ to the Giants for prospects and flipping those prospects along with Groome and to the Marlins. There may be other players involved depending on how much money the Sox take on but I think it's certainly a possibility.
I'm always in favor of trading for a known quantity (Stanton) over an unknown one (prospects). Plus it ain't my money and the Sox have some to spend.....

 

[Super Mario]

If it’s true that Giancarlo Stanton won’t wave his no-trade clause for St. Louis or Boston then it’s clear to me the man has zero desire to win.

If Stanton’s happy collecting his huge contract, smashing a bunch of home runs in a warm climate while playing for a perennial loser, then good for him.

I assume most players take much more pride in their careers than that though.

Giants already have an offer out...it’s Panik, Tyler Beede and Chris Shaw for Stanton and Gordon, no idea if any other names were in, or how much money goes where

No chance in hell that's anywhere near enough for Stanton by himself, let alone Gordon as well.

My Chis Shaw stash is Paniking...

If the Giants take on 75% or more of that contract it will.

But with a projected 2018 payroll of $180 million, doing so would make no sense at all.

Sandy Alcantra is the only name rumored to be involved in the Cardinals offer.

 

[Jaypers]

Bob Nightengale reports the Giants are the "heavy favorites" for him, followed by STL & BOS.

Obviously that means it's mostly a $ deal, as their prospects are lackluster overall.

I can't understand this. The giants never looked like they were just one player away. Hope Ramosn isn't in the deal

I just don't see the Giants being the "favorites" to land Stanton. They just don't have the prospects even if they take on most if not all of the salary. It's great that STL made an offer but it doesn't mean a whole lot. I'm sure the Marlins have fielded other offers that just haven't been made public.

I think Stanton wants to be on the west coast....can't say I blame him
