GIANCARLO STANTON TRADED TO YANKEES FOR CASTRO/GUZMAN/DEVERS

[aarne13]

I can’t imagine the Cardinals can beat that. Unless they pay all the ��. Assuming that Stanton even approves a trade to STL.

I don't know what the giants r thinking

Bring me your Bickford, Ryan McMahon, Senzatela and Peter Lambert cards

If there eating all of his money freakin crazy.

They could if the trade was centered around Reyes.

However, the rumors I've read have Alcantara as the centerpiece. That just ain't gonna git-r-done.

#SFGiants' reported full player package offered for #Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton -- their top 4 prospects:
3B/SS Christian Arroyo
OF/1B Chris Shaw
RHP Tyler Beede
OF Heliot Ramos

WOW! I'm amazed they are offering so much, considering the fact they are also going to pay a quarter billion of his contract too.

I don't know what the giants r thinking

Still agree with you.

The size of their payroll & completely annihilated farm system is gonna hurt that future.

Although if they can also get Ohtani then a wild card spot isn't out of the question (still a bit of a stretch since Ohtani will spend time in the minors and who knows what he'll be able to do at the major league level)

If there eating all of his money freakin crazy.

Almost all of it.

They could if the trade was centered around Reyes.

At this point it's just up to Stanton. Marlins have agreed to both offers

Arroyo is the only top 100 guy in that list. The Cardinals could beat it easily, even without Reyes.

The giants stripping down their already weak system for one guy who can opt out soon? Why?

Bring me your Bickford, Ryan McMahon, Senzatela and Peter Lambert cards

Don't know. Nothing about it makes sense and it hasn't since the start. If the Giants hadn't stayed in it this long I would have thought it was all scuttlebutt trying to drive up the Cardinals' offer.

Or Dodgers. That's where Stanton obviously wants to go

Where he wants to go and where the Marlins actually have viable offers are two very different things. The Dodgers aren't that interested apparently.

Never underestimate a "mystery team"

True enough but the Dodgers are in almost as bad a situation contract wise as the Giants. They do of course have a much better farm system but who doesn't.

Probably true. Both systems are pretty bare.

Radio reports out of SF have the GM saying the "framework is in place" for the trade, now it seems to be up to Stanton...

Framework was in place five days ago. For the Cardinals and Giants.

Everyone is just waiting on Stanton to make up his mind at this point.

Hurry the f*ck up already.

We've been waiting for nearly a week for him to make up his mind

Are you hoping that the Cardinals get him or are you against such a trade?

Or does it really not matter one way or another?

 

[joey12508]

Stanton might shut it down altogether and just play in Miami.

I do hope the Cardinals get him, but I’m not going to be upset in the slightest if they don’t.

If Stanton goes to the Giants or Dodgers, that works for me too because it’s going to really hurt both of those franchises financially for years, so that’s a win for the Cardinals too.

St. Louis’ financial situation for the next several years is fantastic, and then taking on Stanton’s contract wouldn’t be that big of a hit.

But the way I look at it, wherever Stanton lands except for the Dodgers, it’s just going to be a three year deal anyway.

This will really hurt the Giants if he goes there though.
