thats all guaranteed money except for 2028. He could get a significant injury next season and never be the close to the same youre still stuck paying him $300M over the next twelve seasons.
Id honestly be shocked if the team that acquires him pays more than 60% of his contract within the trade. Id push for 40%, but wouldnt go higher than 60% if im giving up good talent as well. Thats why I suggested JBJ and eating the whole contract. You get Bradley for one season, and get his compensation pick when he leaves a year after, and you get free of $300M (which looked to me like the Marlins #1 objective as the new ownership, to shed a ton of money)
Youre out of your mind if you thought I meant JBJ = Stanton. Jackies just a solid one year replacement player, with the voided contract being the #1 trade asset
btw in case its not obvious i dont want stanton in boston (at that salary)
Despite his hefty contract, Stanton has more than one suitor. Dont think for a second the Dodgers wont make a run at him, especially considering he prefers to play on the West Coast. All it takes is 2-3 teams willing to negotiate and the asking price goes up. Id also look for the Marlins to package him with another attractive player also. They plan to shed $30M in payroll by trading Stanton, Dee, and Prado.
Stanton could be a bargain with so many players projected to net $30M per salaries come 2018 FA.
All Time Manager!? All time what exactly? Girardi was above average but hes not on some GOAT list. He won one title in 10 years with with the deepest pockets in all of baseball. Farrell won just as many in Boston and he barely knows the rules.brett05 said:Excuse? you misspelled reason. The reason I would have IF it happens is the unknown of a rookie manager vs an all time manager is always >>>>....>>>
Nothing wrong with rooting for Cora. But a boat was missed and that doesn't mean there is blame there, it's just factual.
Youre ready to trade Benintendi because he didnt have an Aaron Judge like rookie year. Lol, okay. You clearly dont know much about baseball.PWNdroia said:I can part with Benintendi. Honestly, he was just good, never great this past year. He wasn't an Aaron Judge, that's for sure. But Stanton is legit.
