bmags Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'm totally confused by the proposed roster additions to the cards. Seems like they have an abundance of hit first/defensively ? players. They keep proposing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Nov 14, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) So that basically puts the Giants in the drivers seat right? Padres and A's probably don't want the contract, Dodgers might not be able to afford it. Do the Angels try to make a run at him then? The Dodgers can afford anything, as long as they don't care about the luxury tax. Never count them out. Stanton is from LA and went to high school there.

Next big name talk radio has been talking a lot about down here is...Jose Abreu. I want to say they were a fairly serious bidder for him?

Trade us 2-3 top prospects (1-2 in the top 50/100) and their competitive balance pick. Edited November 14, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I always assumed since he was bigger he'd be a log out there. Did not know that, also can count on no hands the amount of marlins games I've watched last few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'm referring to the Cardinals. It's just Sports radio banter but he's a name they bring up a lot. Carpenter can move around, they just want a middle of the order bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cards have interest in a corner OF and a 1B, plus they have plenty of good prospects. Let's make a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 So now there are reports that the Dodgers are going after Stanton, but also that he hasn't ruled out Boston or St. Louis. So basically everyone wants him and no one knows what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Bob NightengaleVerified account @BNightengale 4h4 hours ago There are eight teams who have inquired about #Marlins Giancarlo Stanton, but the #SFGiants and #STLCards remain atop leaderboard Dan SzymborskiVerified account @DSzymborski 1h1 hour ago It was widely believed inside baseball that the White Sox ask for Quintana during last winter was too high.

southsider2k5 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Jon MorosiVerified account @jonmorosi Giancarlo Stanton trade development: Sources say multiple teams told #Marlins that Stanton’s contract (10 years, $295 million) is roughly what he’d receive on open market. Thus, #Marlins would need to include cash in order to obtain high-level prospects. @MLB @MLBNetwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Source : Cardinals as previously reported by @jonmorosi made offer to Marlins for Stanton. That proposal Included prospects, among them hard throwing top hurler Sandy Alcantara via Craig Mish on twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is becoming very interesting. The Giants have and are willing to spend the money and the Cards have the prospects. Hopefully Stanton ends up in SF or Boston so the Cards shift their attention to Avi. Really like what the Cards have to offer in a trade.

It's 3B that poses the biggest long term concern (enter Manny Machado next offseason). I dunno if it counts, but I feel like Sanchez has a better chance of filling the 3b spot until Berger is ready than Engel does of filling the CF spot. Maybe Leury takes over that spot out in CF, but that's my favorite weak spot right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It'd be borderline insanity to lock up this much money, but... C - Collins 1B - Abreu 2B - Moncada SS - Anderson 3B - Machado LF - Stanton CF - Robert RF - Jimenez DH - Garcia Would be a pretty fun lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
