Giancarlo Stanton trade possibility?

[Nomar]

If Stanton gets traded all the Marlins fans are going to throw themselves off of that ugly thing in CF.

^ Yes but what if he refuses to play?

I doubt it happens but it would be pretty cool.

Last time a player refused was during 1918 when Ty Cobb got in a fight with a handicapped fan. He was fined and banned for a few games. The team refused to play without him.

You can have our leftovers as per usual, right after he wins a ring with us. Like Uribe.

the days of taking giants leftovers are long gone thanks to the new ownership.

Then he'll be unemployed, likely have a lawsuit on his hands, and will get killed in the press. And if he wants to come back to baseball he'll be in the exact same spot he's in now.

Jays can just pick him up too

[Sanyo]

No matter what any players says, no one is dumb enough to throw away potentially hundreds of millions to get pissed. Just play another year or two in Miami and when he's done with his arb years get the hell out of town.

what would you guys possibly have to trade for him? I mean someone mentioned Garry Brown and Mota, but seriously, you guys have one of the most empty systems in baseball, I'm not sure you guys have anything to offer other than Panik and Brown, and niether are tremendous prospects.

Isn't it an odd time to knock the Giants farm system after two WS in 3 years?
Every other team could win BA's best farm system for all I care if my team wins the World Series.

[Greedy22]

For posey??

You're overselling the Marlins brilliance.

[jej]

Walker, Vargas, Franklin and Catricala for him.

lol

[JohnBoy326]

I'd offer the Cubs entire farm system, and anybody but Castro.

[C-ross12]

Stanton is better then Castro. He's also cheaper. I wouldn't trade Stanton for Castro straight up if I we're the Marlins.

[Quinnsanity]

Just a thought, but wouldn't it make sense for the Marlins from a baseball perspective to trade him? I mean by the time they're ready to be good again won't he be gone? They could essentially trade him for a Herschel Walker like haul and all of those top prospects would come up together for a short burst of contention before they sell off again. Seems like how the Marlins would normally build.

[kyubi256]

Giancarlo has no right to demand a trade so he can't really force anything. He gets paid nothing so it isn't worth it anyways. Marlins will hold onto him till he is eligible to leave. Which is like 4 years down the line. Then they will deal him

[armchairgm]

Would you trade him for 100million dollars?

Serious question. The BoSox paid 51million to talk to Dice K.

What if someone just offered them a 100million dollar check? Surely the Marlins would do it?

That is an interesting idea. 100 is crazy but how about 50 million???????
