Lefty, speed, relative power, good arm, no contact, old for his level, apparently didn’t hit at all last year. Sooo...... I have to think this is just clearing out money and a roster spot.

Honestly, probably not going to amount to anything but not the worst thing to gamble on a former 2nd round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the Cardinals an extra spot on their 40 man roster, and they gamble on someone who was drafted semi-high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically what I've seen as well. This trade is more or less two teams swapping disappointments hoping they'll rebound with a change. I don't see either Woodard or Diaz amounting to anything of value moving forward... Most important part of this deal is what you eluded to, shedding salary...

He’s one of my biggest disappointments. I watched him all year in Springfield tear the cover off the ball. I thought he was the next big thing.

kgarrett12486 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 So latest on Stanton is that both STL and SF are still in dark whether he'd waive NTC for either team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Stanton is holding out hope that the Dodgers will enter the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Marlins "have agreed to general framework" of Giancarlo Stanton trades with both the Cardinals and Giants. Morosi adds that the deals are "on hold" while the Marlins wait for Stanton to inform them whether he'd accept a trade to either team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) So basically we can move on now because it’s now in his hands and it’s been confirmed by pretty much everyone that he wants to be out west.

kgarrett12486 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 According to Craig Mish of Sirius XM, the Cardinals proposed deal for Giancarlo Stanton is centered around prospect Sandy Alcantara. Mish also notes that the Cardinals deal includes more cash than the Giants' proposed deal does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we offer more cash and a much better package and he still doesn’t come, that’s not on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're accepting both deal because they know final decision lies w/ Stanton. Marlins want to move him and as much of the contract as they can soon... They're essentially saying to him, these are the two teams with deals on the table. Pick one and move on. The Dodgers aren't interested... Stanton could say no thanks though if he really wanted to stick it to them, but I think he wants resolution as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
