    Stanton - U- B-Sox-GM

    Now that Stanton has passed through waivers, he is eligible to be traded. And IMO, he would look absolutely great in a Sox uniform.

    But acquiring him would necessitate dealing with the remaining $295M over next 10 years.

    So the question becomes what would the Sox be willing to give up and what would the Marlins be willing to accept.

    How about Price, Hanley, Rusney Castillo, and maybe a couple of throw-ins from PawSox?

    If the Marlins are looking to trim payroll why in hell would they want to assume those contracts?
    "Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.


    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Yeah, I assumed that bit was a joke.

    We'd have to give even more in talent by making any team take on Price, HRam and Castillo.

    Miami doesn't want any of those three.

    If they do trade GS, it will be for at least 4-5 top quality young players or prospects.

    Just say no to Stanton's contract. And having to give up prospects on top of it? No thanks.

    I agree. Paying big money is one thing, but to give up the budget AND top young talent is a double whammy.

    One major reason I loved the Chris Sale deal was that his contract is relatively low for 3 years.

    My sentiment as well. Giancarlo Stanton is 27 years old. The contract for the next 5 years, at $29.5 million/year as I understand it, is actually pretty good. The contract for the 5 years after that, covering his mid-30s, is a huge gamble. If he's still an offensive force, great. But chances are his skills diminish and the contract cripples the Red Sox. So if Stanton were just offered without anything returning in trade, the Sox should probably still say no. But to add prospects into the mix, it just makes it so much more likely the trade will not be in the Sox's favor.

    That said, I would love to see him in a Sox uniform. But the only way to reduce the risk involved in this trade is to include David Price's contract. So, I would do Stanton for Price, but why would the Marlins? They want prospects.

    These types of contracts usually end up crippling a team in the later years of it. The fact that no team put a claim on him shows that no team is willing to take on that contract, regardless of whether they have to give up prospects or not.

    This is the worst trade proposal in the history of fake trade proposals.

    Crunch the numbers, and then get back to me on what you believe makes this the worst trade proposal in history.

    The trick is you have to come up with a proposal that would make some sense for Miami. They would be especially interested in Benintendi, Devers, and Groome.

    Price, Rodriguez, bogey and 2 prospects for Stanton.

    Price's contract just about cancels Stanton's.

    If the two prospects were Travis and Beeks, I'd surely do it (this winter).

    If the two prospects were Groome and Chavis, I might do it, but we'd have to sign a SP'er either way.

    I'm thinking we lose Bogey in 2.3 years anyways. ERod is tough to part with. I'd hand Price away for nothing.

    Note: Miami will NOT WANT PRICE!
