@SportsCenter BREAKING: Marlins & OF Giancarlo Stanton have 13-year, $325 million deal in place.

Giancarlo Stanton's contract includes an opt-out after the sixth season, source confirms. The deal has full no-trade protection.

So, Stanton's opt-out is after the 2020 season.

Hope he can feed his family on that salary.

Pssh, I don't see the big deal, I make like 65 percent of that in a year.

If Stanton opts out of contract after 2020, his AAV for first 6 years would be "only" $17.83 million, sources say http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11897600...vily-backloaded …

Sources say Stanton will make just $30M over 1st 3 years of heavily backloaded deal, to give Marlins $ to add pieces http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11897600...vily-backloaded …

That is very, very smart of the Fish.

I love that for the Marlins. If he opts out, he only makes money if he does better than 7 years, ~$220 million. Now, if his skills regress, that makes the contract harder to trade every year, so they have that to worry about.
