If Jeter deals Stanton without getting more than a few marginal prospects in return , they will probably find his body in Biscayne Bay. Some of these proposals are preposterous.

I like Martinez first
Except that Stanton has expressed a desire to play on a coast.
And really, why would Stanton okay a deal to one of the most depressing metropolitan areas in our country when he could be in a hot bed of activity like LA or NYC?
I would be very surprised if Stanton agrees to play in St Louis.
He hold all of the cards. His opportunity to grow his brand will not be nourished by being in that dreadful city.

"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."
Stanton has to realize that accepting a trade to St. Louis is going to increase his national exposure and as a member of a playoff race increase the pressure and the excitement.
All pay being the same, winning always trumps losing.

Stanton will be traded to the team who offers the most.
I seriously doubt that if Jeter thinks the best offer is not good enough, he will keep Stanton.
He'll take the best he can get.
I don't think it will be as much as some think it will be, but I've been wrong before.
