Jon HeymanVerified account@JonHeyman FollowFollow @JonHeyman More sources: yankees and marlins have a deal for giancarlo stanton 4:51 AM - 9 Dec 2017 Rumors of players going back and just rumors at this point are castro and 3 prospects. Possible I'm hearing prospect wise are clint frazier, andujar and chase adams although no confirmation on names and money marlins are eating. Giancarloooooooooooooo
Names just rumors I heard. Nothing official. Hopefully not all 3. But figure 1 or 2. Frazier has no job and for whatever reason despite his success last year and yanks bringing up every pitcher in their organization chance adams doesn't seem to fit into their plans. If andujar goes and their under luxury tax this year probably means they are looking towards mach ado next year.
Another good thing of castro going back with his salary it means torres will be our starting 2nd baseman which is good.

oel ShermanVerified account@Joelsherman1 6m6 minutes ago More I reported #Yankees are sending at least Castro to #Marlins among veterans and prospects, but not their top ones I can't wait to see what this package turns out to be. Most likely can''t officially release names until stanton passes his paysical today.

rt StapletonVerified account@art_stapleton 5m5 minutes ago More Yankees are going to sell tickets to the HR Derby in batting practice between Sanchez, Judge and Stanton
...I could live with that, but I still think the Marlins should at least pick up part of Stanton's salary...($5 Mil year would make me a happy camper)

@Jim_Duquette 18m18 minutes ago More Nice week for GM Brian Cashman- finds a new manager, signs a new 5 year deal for himself, then trades for NL MVP Stanton. What’s next Cash?
"The deal bolsters an already formidable lineup, with Stanton set to join Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez in the heart of the Yankees’ batting order. The trio hit a combined 144 home runs in 2017." ...wow, think about that for a minute. ...also, something else to consider, this will probably piss off the Red Sox to no end...(they were hot for Stanton)...so adding him to the Yanx while keeping him away from Boston is like hitting the lottery without having to pay income tax on it.
@art_stapleton 5m5 minutes ago More Giancarlo Stanton to the Marlins, early yesterday: I leave for New York tomorrow. Think about a price.
Cmon all you Mets fans! Sing this to the tune of "Let it Snow". Well the yankee lineup is frightful, And their fans sure feel delightful, But as long as the Wilpons won't go, Our team will blow they will blow they will blow. #Giancarlo Stanton.
Several reports this morning indicate the Yankees and Marlins have agreed on a trade. Castro and good but not top prospects is what's being said.
