Stanton traded to Yankees

[John_Havok]

According to multiple the sources the deal is all but finalized. The exact return is unknown but Starlin Castro is the currently rumoured centerpiece going back to Florida along with several prospects. Tehre are still physicals to be taken so nothing is official yet and neither team has confirmed the deal but baseball insiders are saying the deal is agreed upon.

 

Felt this was thread worthy over being stuck on the back end of the Around Baseball discussion.

Going to be an exciting year for baseball!

...unless you're a Jays fan

I think the worst thing about this will be listening to Tabby babble on about his man-crush Jeter jump starting two Yankee dynasties.

[John_Havok]

Some food for thought on this

Has anyone tweeted out that the only way to stop the Yankees now is to hijack a couple of jets and crash them into Stanton and Judge?

[G-Snarls]

Any leaks on what the Marlins are getting in return yet??

[jaysguy44]

Hearing #Yankees taking vast majority of $295M owed Stanton. One source says $260M. Another says $273M.

Stro isn't worried guys

 

 

The first reply is perfect

As a Stanton owner, I love this .

 

As a Jays fan it's GG

What a f***ing blowhard

[TheHurl]

I'll say it now. Stanton never wins a WS as a Yankee. Best tweet so far was Didi tweeting Aaron Boone and asking if he'll still be batting cleanup.

I was actually starting to respect the Yanks for building a team through trades and farm system. Now they go full on Evil Empire and bring in a monster contract

[Brownie19]

Let's turn this thread into another recount of how f***ing stupid and unbearable Stro is. What a douche bag.

You should respect them even more after this. This is a very good deal for the Yankees. $26.5 million AAV for a guy like Stanton is laughable. It’s gonna look like peanuts in a couple years compared to what some guys are gonna get. Most front offices would’ve been a fool not to do this deal.

[CrackerJack]

Good. Want to watch as much Hall of Fame talent playing in the Skydome/Rogers Centre as frequently as possible.

[jays4life19]

Yankees only get the $30MM in cash if Stanton does not opt out of his contract after the 2020 season

[bowld]

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Marlins will receive Starlin Castro, Jorge Guzman and Jose Devers in the Giancarlo Stanton trade

 

SALARY DUMP

[BTS]

Wow, the only return here is whatever they get for Castro

[jays4life19]

You would have to think Clint Frazier is going to be very available now.

[jays4life19]

Wow, the only return here is whatever they get for Castro

 

If there's such a thing as a Marlins fan they must be so pissed after knowing what the Giants were offering.

[Spanky99]

Surprised the Dodgers didn't want to beat that?!

No kidding, was it ever leaked what the Cards had on the table?

[P2F]

Jorge Guzman is a goddamn stud, but this return is light.

[BlueJays]

Lmao. Marlins got fleeced. Jeter doing a great job. 2018 World Series MVP

[Dick_Pole]

Wow, the only return here is whatever they get for Castro

 

Maybe if we're lucky the Jays can flip something inconsequential to the Marlins to get Castro and get a little piece of divisional pay back a la what the Rays did with Escobar.

[jays4life19]

No kidding, was it ever leaked what the Cards had on the table?

 

I don't think so.

[P2F]

I read Sandy Alcantara was in the package, but the rest remains a mystery.
