Marlins Listening to Offers on Stanton

[LeoYankee]

Still doesn't top the Felix threads......yet.

The Yankees can put together a potentially nice package. At the end of the day its just prospects for a young cost controlled power hitter. We are going to obviously pay a large ransom for him if we were even going to get him. The Marlins are in no rush to trade there best player. I actually think that the Yankees would need to get another team involved to get Stanton. Management will have to decide if getting this player would be worth pretty much gutting the farm system.

[LeoYankee]

Well, lets see. How many guys on our roster or in our farm are better than Stanton. The answer is zero, sans bob.

So, the correct decision is to give them anyone they want.

Stanton might be the best human on the planet besides trout with regard to talent, cost, control.

At some point there does need to be a limit. If we start trading too many guys we'll be left with a bunch of overpriced vets and Stanton. We do need to have some prospects and youth, otherwise we won't be able to afford to fill the holes we open up in our rotation, at catcher, etc.

Well, of course, you can't give them 10 guys. What I mean is give them pick of the litter. Any 4/5 or so guys they want.

Or say:

You can have two of our top three plus whatever or
4 of our top 7.

Etc...

First:
Curtis Granderson & Melky Mesa/Corban Joseph to Texas for Mike Olt

Then:
Ivan Nova, Mike Olt, Mason Williams, Gary Sanchez, Eduardo Nunez, Adam Warren
for
Mike Stanton and Ricky Nolasco (1 year, $11m salary dump,)

Would not be Opposed to Include Bentences in the trade Proposal^^^^^

In a Dream; I would offer 15 mill a year and AROD's contract, with year one paid entirly by the Yankees if we could Swap Olt for AROD--- In this Senario I would Also Include Gardner in the Package

0% chance he ends up here.

Ok, then lets close this and open a Felix thread. I think it's important.

I'd trade Brien Taylor, Andrew Brackman and Kevin Maas.

They can also have that dude who stole Jeter's glove. Ruben Rivera?

I know we are a long shot but what would you realistically offer the marlins for him?

What I would realistically offer and what they would realistically consider are quite a distance apart... Yes, they are listening to offers... that can be translated too: "we'll listen, but unless someone blows us away we won't consider"

So, don't expect it to happen unless someone guts a very good farm system to get him.

Who was actually a pretty up and coming player until he went Full Metal Whacko!!!!!!!!

[Yankee Clipper]

Even if we put together a somewhat decent package, it wouldn't be enough and plenty of other teams could top it if they wanted to.

The Rangers could easily put together a package that would top anything we could offer.
