oe FrisaroVerified account@JoeFrisaro 33m33 minutes ago More wonder at which point AL clubs will ask themselves how could they let this happen
More Brendan Kuty Retweeted Steiner Sports WELP. Brendan Kuty added, Steiner SportsVerified account@steinersports Starlin Castro’s public signing appearance at @SteinerStoreNY today has been postponed. I guess that confirms that!!
...did not realize that Stanton has an "opt out" clause... after 3 years with the Yanx, he can leave.
Ƒunhouse@BackAftaThis 1h1 hour ago More Mike Francesa, 8/15/17 - If the Yankees traded for Giancarlo Stanton, it would cost them Aaron Judge, just for starters. But the Marlins are NOT going to trade him anyway. #Clockwork 0:32 / 1:55
More Joel Sherman Retweeted Ken Rosenthal Not shocked by this because 1 source said #Yankees were willing to assume more than #stlcards #sfgiants in their propoals, and another source said when you see prospects you'll see that #Marlins was more interested in getting out of $ then getting high-end guys Joel Sherman added, Ken RosenthalVerified account@Ken_Rosenthal Hearing #Yankees taking vast majority of $295M owed Stanton.

Jon Heyman Retweeted FanRag Sports MLB@FanRagMLB 11m11 minutes ago More UPDATE: Per @JonHeyman, Stanton has agreed to waive his no-trade clause in a deal that would send the reigning NL MVP (and about $35M) to the #Yankees for Starlin Castro and prospects. Stanton headed to NY for physical. Jon HeymanVerified account@JonHeyman 20m20 minutes ago More stanton is on his way to NYC (or there already) for physical. so obviously, he is approving deal. Jon HeymanVerified account@JonHeyman 21m21 minutes ago More the agreed-upon deal: yankees get stanton plus about $35M, marlins gets castro plus prospects Unless he somehow fails his physical stanton is officially a yankee. Get those lineups ready
LOL. How can there not be. But I have a feeling you can substitute torres in for rizutto and someone for gardner after cashman trades him.
Here are Stanton's future salaries under the deal: 2018 (age-28 season): $25 million 2019: $26 million 2020: $26 million 2021: $29 million 2022: $29 million 2023: $32 million 2024: $32 million 2025: $32 million 2026: $29 million 2027: $25 million 2028: $25 million team option/$10 million buyout At the point of his opt-out following the 2020 season (his age-30 campaign), Stanton will have $218 million left on his contract. Likely, he'd need to believe that he'd do better than $218 on the open market in order to exercise his opt-out. Stanton's deal also includes some comparatively modest incentives based on individual awards and All-Star appe
...^^^gotta believe that either Gardner or Headley or Ellsbury will also be dealt. If they can deal Gardner or Headley that will nearly wash out Stanton's contract when you also take Castro's salary off the books.
...considering some "experts" are forecasting that Harper may get 10 years/$400 Mil, Stanton may have reason to believe that he might be better off opting out of his contract with the Yanx. ...don't know why these GMs keep giving out these damned NTCs and Opt Out clauses ?
...fwiw, I'm trying to take this deal with tempered enthusiasm...I remember the day the Yanx the Yanx got ARod (it was on my birthday) and I remember how exited I was...not saying that Giancarlo will be another ARod nightmare but I just hope we don't end up regretting this deal.
