Only name I even think about anything remotely like that package for is Mike Trout.

Only way I trade for Stanton is if you also get Yellich for a minimal package. Not realistic, so move on

nope. Rebuild the right way. Not change course at the quarter mile marker. Not to mention he doesn't matchup with our timeline in the slightest

He's only 27 years old now.

 

I wouldn't trade too much for him but if you could get him along with salary relief for the last few years of his contract for someone like Anderson or some middling prospects I would be all for it.

I think in any trade scenario, Stanton should return better prospects than Quintana.

 

In terms of my specific proposal. None of the guys I proposed, minus Adams, are proven above High-A.

 

Plus with this deal, we still keep Moncada, Kopech, Lopez, Robert, Burger, and Giolito. I wouldn't be upset if it didn't happen, but if we did, I'd be excited.

 

Stanton is nowhere near as valuable as Quintana. Stanton is still owed like $300 million over the next 11 years. Quintana is owed 1/12th of that over the next 4.

 

I do not think trading for Giancarlo Stanton is a good idea.

Turrible man,just turrible...

Makes zero sense. Instead of paying stanton the 250m or whatever is left on his contract you can also keep the prospects and pay machado 350 might or Harper 400 m. Makes no sense to give up prospects to pay a guy 200 plus millions.

There's not much if any surplus value on that contract (and it may be negative), but it would probably take at least one top prospect to get MIA to part with him. And then you'd still have to deal with his no-trade clause.

So there is always the discussion on if the White Sox could sign Harper or Machado, but what about a trade for Stanton? The reason I think this would be interesting is because the White Sox probably wouldn't have to give up as many prospects as usual, solely because of the amount of money they would have to take on.

 

Something like:

 

White Sox get: Giancarlo Stanton.

 

Marlins get: Eloy Jimenez, Zack Collins, Dane Dunning, Alec Hansen, and Spencer Adams.

 

 

This is a troll thread right?

 

I mean if not, then OP might just be the worst judge of talent/value in the world. This is the type of trade that a drunk off his rocker Kenny Williams would make at 4am after a 8 hour bender with the GM of the Marlins who was drinking nothing but water all night long waiting for Kenny to lose all inhibitions

Stanton is not a super star.

But he is kind of a Kenny Williams player, so something like this wouldn't surprise me.

 

But it's the same old story. The team has a dozen holes, but lets's load up the wagon and bring in the "star"

The Sox still wouldn't have made the playoffs even if Frazier was the type of player so many thought he was.

Lessons never, ever leaned.

 

Heck, we just had a superstar - one a lot better than Stanton - and we traded him.

 

lmao. Nice job of turning a trade proposal by a message board poster into something the Sox actually did.

That trade package is absurd haha^^^

 

The sheer amount of inexpensive control the Sox would be giving up to absorb Stanton's huge contract would be a fireable decision. You are giving up an elite prospect in Jimenez, a quality catching prospect in Collins, and three potential starting pitchers. That package above would land any player in the mlb.

 

Never going to happen,

Realistically, with Stanton being owed $300 million, I would be willing to do nothing more than take on his contract at this stage. I wouldn't be willing to give up anything of consequence for him at this stage. With his deal it is something you could revisit in a couple of years, but as of today it makes no sense for us.

 

 

FWIW--Heard on a Boston Sports Show that it would be very unlikely Stanton would be dealt since he is the key asset if the ownership is going to sell.

They should probably just figure out what potential new owners would want. Could see new owners wanting him moved so his giant contract is off the books along with getting a couple decent prospects.

Stanton is overpaid and overrated trash, no thanks.

If the Angels asked for that for Trout, I'd have to at least consider it. But I'd honestly still probably turn it down. That's just too much value for one player
