Originally posted by The_Godfather View PostWith the season Stanton just had I think his contract is pretty fair to the market value, the issue is the no trade clause. If Stanton truly only wants to go to the west coast we won't have enough teams to bid for him. If it was open to everyone I'd think even with his contract you'd get back two extremely high end prospects.
I also dont get the idea that his contract is some ridiculous albatross. I think if he had been healthy for going on 2 years rather than just this past year being his really only healthy season aside from i think it was 2013 where he was healthy and just got hit in the face in September, this would be a different story. But i 100% agree, i think if he is healthy, his contract is reasonable to a large market teamm 100%.

Originally posted by ¿NICK? View PostWhat would one do, as a fan, if they were to show up at Winter Meetings? Is it like a convention? Would you stand outside meeting rooms with your ear to the door?
First day is fun u see GM's with agents/players alot. It used to be alot easier to go but security has clamped down alot.

Originally posted by fish16 View PostI know they would never do this, but id love to see us throw in cash for 6 years for stanton at, say, 10 million a year, if that means we could get 2 top prospects for him. The rationale being that we can get to top prospects and wouldnt have to pay them much of anything for 6 years until they get around free agency/arbitration, and then once they are in line for a big deal we would be done paying stanton at all.
I know they are interested, but i really hope we dont go the SF route. Go to LA or Boston and maybe even NYY and get the best haul you can get.

Who knows, but cant operate based solely on fan sentiment. IF we had good attendance when he was here, maybe, but you dont get to cry foul when we have been the lowest attendance team in the league even with him.
Its hard to ask a team for more when they are pretty much bidding against themselves. If he says 4 teams then u can ask the Dodgers/Boston for more. SF however u are pretty much stuck with a Heliot Ramos and 2 of Arroyo,Shaw,Suarez,Beede type deal

Teams in the AL are looking at Justin Bour as a much cheaper backup option to Eric Hosmer. Boston has interest in both and if KC loses Hosmer and keeps other guys they would look at him as wellLast edited by tjfla; 11-03-2017, 12:28 PM.

Chad Wallach was drafted by us and is Tim's kid. Likely our 3rd C in AAA but maybe ML Backup? Telis and Austin Nola aren't safe
Miguel Del Pozo was also added to the 40 man. TJ missed a year but looked great in 2017. Andy Beltre and Braxton Lee will also likely be added before Rule 5. Talking about Ichiro and Lee,Lee will likely be replacing Ichiro as the 4th OF and he is tearing up the AFL. .362AVG/.415OBP
C Rodrigo Vigil is the backup C in the AFL but he may have played his way into staying in our system.Only 24 AB's but .412/.444/.708 with 1 HR. He is more of a defense/backup type

Marlins communicated to other teams they are open to offers for Giancarlo Stanton, Dee Gordon, Martin Prado. For now, not Yelich or Ozuna.
Nothing new but it's funny how Jeter is playing it.Jeter is acting like they are off the market when in reality he already has an offer for Yelich that meets the "asking" price they set and 2 teams(St Louis,Toronto are waiting to fight over Ozuna with alot more waiting in the wings especially the low market teams)Last edited by tjfla; 11-04-2017, 12:06 PM.

Just saying they have an offer that meets the asking price they set
Mentioned this few weeks ago but Philly is even willing to take a contract to get a Stanton,Yelich from us. The rumor is its Volquez NOT Chen or PradoLast edited by tjfla; 11-04-2017, 01:34 PM.

Im usually against the conventional wisdom of not trading within your division, but I support it in regards to Stanton and Yelich. Ozuna id be cool with dealing to the braves or phillies if they want him because he would leave in free agency in a few years, but Yelich and Stanton will be there for years to come so im actually cool with that.

The Cardinals have been linked to Giancarlo Stanton in trade speculation since the summer, and now Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily.com writes that the Cards are reportedly willing to offer the Marlins “one of their best young pitchers” in a Stanton trade, provided that Miami covers some of the $295MM remaining on the slugger’s enormous contract.
So cover some cash and get a Flaherty/Hudson led deal for Stanton OR cover NO cash and get a Flaherty/Hudson led deal for Ozuna
Mike Hill loves Dakota Hudson so he will likely be in an deal we do with St Louis and they like Reyes but prefer Flaherty due to health.Last edited by tjfla; 11-04-2017, 03:26 PM.

Stanton-LA,SF,St Louis,Boston
Ozuna-St Louis,Toronto,Boston,NYY,lower market teams
Yelich-St Louis,Toronto,Philly,lower market teams

Originally posted by fish16 View PostId love to take a chance on Reyes but any of him Flaherty, or Weaver and i take it and run along with one of their OF prospects.
Reyes has most talent but the injury brings him down and if we take Flaherty instead of Reyes or Weaver we could then say give us a Junior Fernandez and better prospects

Hudson would be such a mike hill move. Pitcher with limited K ability and thus limited potential.

If we are able to get Stanton to accept a trade to STL for Weaver/Flaherty and then an OF prospect, id love to see us offer Ozuna to Tor and get Vlad JR and another starter. That would be an incredible start to a rebuild.
