Fuck the DH

I think the Marlins might be pressed to move the Stanton contract this offseason just because the ownership group wants to make their mark early on.

This whole “new owner must make their mark” thing is what ruins so many companies in America. It happens in baseball (Dodgers extension of Ethier five minutes after McCourt left office), but in this particular case I really can’t think of a worse mark to make than “must release reigning MVP and future Hall of Famer immediately.”

the Marlins want to have a fresh slate coming off toxic ownership, so they're pulling a play from the original owner's playbook :downs:

I think that Jeter and Denbo are running point on any deals, but it seems to me that they're far out of their element given how much we know about the negotiations

Crypto-Rump Roast
N: Former Cardinal (and Indian) Anthony Reyes, best known among fans for starting Game 1 of the 2006 World Series as a rookie, outpitching Verlander and going 8 innings, at one point retiring 17 in a row, did not last particularly long in the Majors. He's now following another lifelong dream and fighting fires in LA County.

V: Good for him, he seems like a stand-up guy based on this very limited profile of him.

Sooooo what's plan B for the Cardinals? Ozuna? Archer/Colome? .....JD?




If they could pull off Archer/Colome/Ozuna/Nicasio, that would just be super.

Are they seriously going to loving dump Ellsbury and get Stanton. Does every aspect of life have to constantly reward evil.

Why is anyone surprised Jeter would give Stanton away to the Yankees. It's the most Jeter thing he could do. That and giving Stanton a gift basket on the way out.

On one hand I don't want the Cubs to blow that much payroll on Stanton when they still need serious pitching help + the loaded 2018 FA class right around the corner, but on the other hand I don't want to see Stanton on the Astros, Dodgers, or Yankees. :sigh:

I hope Jeter does something like Headley/Ellsbury for Stanton straight up, the league investigates collusion, Stanton is granted outright free agency and teh Yankees lose their first round pick in perpetuity

Stanton has never OPS'd below .815
