Stanton is going to make barely above $500,000 in 2013, and even a generous arbitration comp would put him maybe around $8 mil in 2014.
If he is offered 7/$85+ in line with Cargo, it's a no brainer for him. He can't risk his financial future as a twenty year old (he would be a free agent before he turns 30) just because he hates the marlins brass.
Vet MIF who can play 2B or UT(Ryan Raburn is top of list)
Cheap SP who can eat innings
Vet RP on a 2 or 3 yr deal at 5-7 million total deal
We are however shopping Nolasco and Escobar(NYY,Arizona,St Louis,Oakland) and looking for Minor Leaguers who will be ready for the majors in 2014(It will not be a salary dump tho) as for Stanton don't look for him to be dealt at the Meetings. The only way he will be dealt is if he tells the team he will not sign an extension or rejects one and we won't be making an offer or asking yet.
Look for us to be players in the Rule 5 draft as well as the minor league part,looking for MIF/RP help in the majors and 2B/SS help in the minors
The thing that really gets to me is Samson publicly saying that as soon as the ballpark was completed they would talk to Stanton about an extension. As far as I'm concerned, they haven't even approached Stanton.
Well, I'm guessing that's all you'll be hearing about in terms of what the Marlins are interested in.

All really depends on what kinda on contract they want,we are only really interested in lower level guys who will sign Minor League Invite deals or a RP we can get 2 years out of for about 5 mil
