Remember that Stanton costs $25M toward luxury tax. Castro and Headley combined are $21.6M in '18. Thus, if #Marlins take that duo plus eat even $4M a year, NYY stays neutral and Mia still gets out of most of $295M owed Stanton.

Stanton's contract is the one that is a big, huge albatross for the Marlins, though. Much moreso than a bunch of smaller ones. Also, good luck finding multiple trade partners for all of those guys.

Plus, at this point, the Stanton/Marlins situation is a messy embarrassment for the franchise. Probably best to move him for the best deal possible and get alot of salary relief.

.

The Marlins care more about the long-term total payout more than his 2018 salary. If they have to take on salary this year,that's no problem.

to go along with the smoke. Sounds like Ellsbury has not been contacted at all about waiving his no trade so he's most likely not in the talks. Ha ha Curb fans will get Heyman's reference:

Can confirm that the #Marlins are nearing an agreement to send Stanton to the #Yankees.

Fake account

This will be huge..

And cause more moves. Frazier, Gardy and Ellsbury all will be traded in other deals...


Wow..

Just wow...

If they get Stanton and stay under the tax... lol Wow.

Ca$hman for Us president 2020/2024!!!

I'm getting punchy. Stupid Twitter trolls!

looking forward to waking up to this being done!

Stupid rumor that Gleyber is part of this. Unconfirmed and no Merrit, but I sure hope there is zero chance of that happening.

The Yankees have the Fish over a barrel here. No need to deal Torres, and multiple sources have said the Yankees aren't dealing their A prospects

I dont watch the Fish that much. Is Stanton a boom or bust guy? power to all fields? or is he a great hitter also? are we getting a HR or nothing player?

This is really going to happen?

.

Will the Yankees have to give up top young players/prospects? So many questions at this point.

so I dont know who to follow...

yanks giancarlo talks are very serious, and they've been going on seriously at least a few days. the belief it could/would get done with NYY may have led stanton not to consider the giants as seriously as he might have.

which is why Giancarlo may have passed on San Fran.

It's after 1:30 am, they decided to sleep on it and will continue in the am.

what we want to know is if it is DONE!!!

Lol love the Fish puns. Nailed it

Source: Stanton from #Marlins to #Yankees is �virtually done.� Close to finish line. Hear #Marlins will get at least Starlin Castro plus good but not top prospects if completed. Again physical review can still be part of this so nothing final, but close.

Great to keep Gardner and have Stanton and Judge DH/rotate RF duties. As of now the lineup looks like

Gardner
Judge
Bird
Stanton
Sanchez
Didi
Hicks
Headley
Torres

Interesting to see the next hammer to drop with possible trade chips that include ellsbury, Headley, Betances, Frazier as well as other top prospects/international spending money. Off-season will not be as vanilla as Yankee fans thought!

Acquiring the best power hitter in the game for Castro and a couple of second tier prospects? Now you can use Frazier as trade bait to get a quality starter. An embarrassment of riches right now.

If they ended up trading a middle reliever (albeit great one) for an MVP and a front line pitching prospect.

...rather spend the money on a top flight starting pitcher.

From what I've been reading,if true,money isn't going to be spent for this season but rather an exchange of contracts i.e. Castro,Headley(both on last year)& a mid range prospect or two.When the dust clears, it seems it will almost be a wash money wise.The bigger question is do you want to take on a contract that takes Stanton to 38 years old?(We've gone that route with ARod) Certainly the lineup (although RHB heavy) this year would become a modern Murderer's Row.I have mixed emotions but certainly this would make the Yankees an offensive juggernaut while at the same time,increase the pressure on Boone to get 5 more wins in post-season this year!

I don't mind that lineup. But if it ends up being Castro and Headley, I really wish they would resign Frazier for 3rd. Let Toe be the backup infielder again. Frazier looked like he was a big part of last year after the trade. Seemed like he brought the team together and was a huge locker room presence.

My source tells me that Giancarlo Stanton is heading to the Yankees. While still trying to work it out the Giants deal last night things happened very quickly between Jeter and the Yankees. Stanton flew to Tampa over night to meet with Yankees and will take his physical today.

Jeez this is massive.

The Red Sox will be compelled to go hard for Harper in the classic nuclear arms race . Save your resources for Harper. The Yanks won playoff games against the Indians and Astros in part because guys like Gardner grung out ABs. Top-heavy reliance on the long ball will become an even greater issue . Cashman has had a weird start to the off-season .

Bryce Harper is a life long Yankees fan. He'd rather stay in DC than go to the Red Sox. It makes Harper to the Cubs, Cardinals or Giants a lot more likely because the Yanks won't be in on him

bat, albeit the best all or nothing bat. I hope Cash isn�t acting like a spurned little girl cause Ohtani went somewhere else.

Don�t like it even if it�s for Castro and Headley and NO prospects. Who cares if the salaries cancel this year, there are another 9 years!! Unless we are going back to the big bad Yankees mode, then this makes no sense at all.

Good lord. Some people will complain about anything.

Lol. Some guy just called into WFAN to say he doesn�t like the trade bc the Yankees will have a target on their backs now. As if they were going to otherwise be sneaking up on teams this season
