Stanton in pinstripes? Slugger narrows list to four teams, including Yankees

The Marlins slugger has reportedly decided on four teams that he would consider accepting a trade to this offseason, with the Yankees and Dodgers at the top. SiriusXM host Craig Mish tweeted on Thursday night that the Astros and Cubs are the other two teams, but aren’t as high on the list for Stanton as New York and Los Angeles.

Mish corroborated a previous report by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal that the Dodgers and Yankees are the front-runners to land Stanton. He has reportedly expressed interest in playing for a contender in a coastal city. A native of the San Fernando Valley area, the Dodgers have presumably been his first choice all along, but Stanton apparently would not shy away from the massive spotlight he’d assume in the Bronx.

Both the Yankees and Dodgers have enough high-end prospects to send a commensurate package to the Marlins for Stanton, and can also afford to take on most or all of the $295 million remaining on Stanton’s contract over the next 10 years.

The Red Sox have indicated publicly that they are not afraid to go over the luxury tax threshold this offseason, but apparently wouldn’t do it for Stanton, reportedly showing “tepid” interest and being considered a long shot all along. The Giants and Cardinals have also fallen out of the running after showing interest, but aren’t nearly the kind of contenders that Stanton’s top-four teams are.

Since Stanton would now approve a trade to the Yankees, it would behoove New York to at least continue to inquire about what it would take to get him. He would certainly complicate Hal Steinbrenner’s quest to keep the Yanks under the luxury tax for 2018, but Stanton could be the kind of player to make it worth going over the limit.

 

 

 

These teams NEVER learn do they? 10 years, 295 million

 

How could that go wrong. (goes for Red Sox too)

 

And yes, for the next 3 to 5 years, Judge/Stanton would be ridiculous and scary as sh1t (on paper)

[NorthernVike 2,080]

He should sign with the Twins for 10 mill a year.

[edjr 5,552]

They signed Mauer to 8 years 184 million

 

55 home runs in 6 years HAH!

 

they are banned from signing big deals.

 

 

Not to worry, the Yankees are paying Ellsbury 22 million a year as a bench player.

It's actually not a bad move. Sign out the was for a guy, if he is still worth his contract to teams, trade him off for a butt load of prospects

Are you drinking?

As a Cubs fan.....do not want. That type of contract just is an anchor to an organization.

As an Astro fan I agree with you but Springer, Altuve, Correa, Stanton would be damn fun to watch.

Last year wasn't fun?

He'd be fun anywhere to watch, but at the end of the deal you'd have guys like me batting fifth

[Bert 1,087]

Of course it was.

[edjr 5,552]

so zip it.

 

stanton isn't going to Houston.

 

although I hear it's a really good time to buy property

Better deals around Naples/Bonita Springs. Idiot blue hairs from Minnesota got their first taste of a hurricane and are getting the hell out.

You are correct. Houston is more likely to sign a big name pitcher.

i too like the name blue hair

[Mungwater 588]

Aren't that many worth it right now. Arrieta is going to get over paid by someone and he's already started his decline

[TommyGavin 788]

Yanks.

Harper AND Stanton ?

[Mungwater 588]

Just because an expensive guy is available doesn't mean it's good for your team.

 

Sandoval, heyward, Ellsbury, price..

Mung, if you are batting fifth for the lastros, whats your walk up music?

I'm starting to think you're not fond of Minnesota.

Sanchez, Judge, Stanton. Been there, done that. Howard/Maris/Mantle.

not sure the later whiffed 600 times combined.

[patweisers44 697]

So HT....what do you think it takes from the Yankees side to land Stanton? 2-3 top tier prospects? One of the being Torres for sure?

they canned Torre years ago

Yeah. At least. Justus Sheffield too. But the yanks are amadant about getting under the luxury cap. But they are the Yankees. And I'm sure they were dumb enough to give Ellsbury a no trade clause, so they can't even eat some of that and send him to Miami. He's not gonna go there.
