Whoa, there Cowboy! Don't get carried away. Stanton is a great young ballplayer, but no one has ever been trraded for a package like yours. It, as you said, unbelievable.Originally Posted by metswon69
It would take something unbelievable to get Stanton.
You would have to start with Wheeler, Harvey, Flores, then deal Fulmer, Montero, Tapia, Mateo, etc etc.
Essentially we would have to empty our farm system for a guy like Stanton.
It would be great to acquire him but it's not happening..
That is much more like it. Even there you may be a bit heavy. Wheeler is truly an elite prospect and you shouldn't have to add too much more to get even a player of Stanton's stature. I would think that Wheeler, Nieuwenhuis or Den Dekker, and Tapia might do it. You might have to add another prospect, like Muno or Aderlin.

Sign me up for wheeler, tapia and Murphy, Duda and MDD
Stanton has the most power in baseball, he's proven, young, and cheap. He's not getting traded.

You have more knowledge of that than myself, i just don't know what would be enough for a 23 year old OF with incredible power who is making 500k next year.
I know its 2 different sports but i think it would require something of the ilk of a Herschel Walker type trade to acquire Stanton.
He just would have so many bidders on the trade market (hypothetically) that someone would really have to blow the Marlins away.
So in other words, move along and find another OFer.
Here's an idea. Instead of gutting your farm to get one, spend a little money.
Don't worry. He's got this.
Yeah! And if you can't afford college, borrow from your parents. Good advice to a kid from a poor family.
How about find an outfielder in the trade market whose salary is still reasonable, and who wouldn't require half the farm to obtain . . like Josh Willingham or Shin-Soo Choo?
