Giancarlo Stanton

[OaklandFan75]

I kinda wish we would have taken the Marlins salary dump instead of Boston's.

That Boston deal was terrible. You basically just paid $250 million for AGon. You would have been better off with Reyes, Jonhson, Buehrle, and Bonifocio. All that for less than the Boston deal, which IMO is also a lot better than the Boston deal.

As far as the Stanton topic, I would definitely go for it if I were the Dodgers. Giving up Gordon and 3 prospects would be worth it for the young beast superstar like Stanton.

By the way... Does anyone still call him Mike Stanton? I can't get that habit out of me. Wonder if I'm the only one

[Az_Dodgers_Fan]

Puig probably makes more than Stanton. Hell there may be people who post on this board who makes more than Stanton. He's signed for like $400k a year for the next 3 or 4 years. If the Dodgers had any chance at getting him it would start with Puig and Lee and work from there. Unless Loria would take a suitcase full of thousands for him?

[DodgerBlue24]

I would trade Puig for Stanton in a heartbeat... Puig i believe is going to be a really good player, Stanton is only 2 years older then Puig and already a major hitter in baseball... I would send Puig, Gordon, Lee and another prospect for him, then Trade Ether for a decent pitcher... An OF of Kemp, Stanton, and Crawford who I think is going to have a good season for us would be crazy...

Doubt it will happen though

Isn't he eligible for arb soon?

[Az_Dodgers_Fan]

He's Arbitration eligible in 2014 and they hold his rights till 2017. So they have him dirt cheap for 2 more years then they go to arbitration where they will have to pay him a crapload but still hold his rights.

Puig makes way more money than Stanton for the next few years

[The1_Who_knocks]

Stanton = beast

[DodgerBlue8188]

Puig still costs a lot of money so it's not like he's a cheap rookie.

[Cimos21]

The conversation would probably start with Clayton Kershaw.

This is where the conversation would end as well.

lol...this puig guy better be good..and not on paper, i mean in reality he better be good

[dodgernation]

Stanton has a 100X better chance of being traded than Trout, Stanton wants out and Miami can't pay him in a few years, so he won't be traded until at best next offseason, but I'd offer the farm for him, Gordon + Lee + Reed + everybody else they want, it's not that realistic though, although Stanton is a local boy

you take things too literally...its not gonna happen. but thanks for pointing out the obvious.

[The 6-4-3]

The conversation would probably start with Clayton Kershaw.

No it wouldn't. They can't afford Kershaw the soon to be $120M + pitcher.

They want young cheap and highly touted prospects only.

Stanton is a guy you give up your best prospects for.

Zack Lee would be included in any trade.

I don't see it happening in any way but I would give the farm for that guy
