...do we need another bomber in the line-up, or a stud front line starter?
Maybe down the road both can happen.
Fair point, but theres no starter of Stantons class out there in free agency, and any available by trade command a zillion prospects. Waiting to see who Yanks are sending in return before judging this trade, but sounds like a unique situation where Yanks had major leverage due to Marlins financial constraints with Stanton and his NTC
but not top prospects. If that's the case that sounds pretty awersome. Although, it would be good to have some high contact guys in the lineup. Who do we have that is high contact other than Gardner? Link - ( New Window )

It will be interesting how they do the lineup..

sources: yankees and marlins have a deal for giancarlo stanton
So they have apparently agreed to terms, which means the deals is pending a physical. Sherman noted earlier that a physical for Stanton is not just a formality, because he does have a fairly substantial injury history dating back a decade to high school football.

I reported #Yankees are sending at least Castro to #Marlins among veterans and prospects, but not their top ones
Stanton & Prado to the Yankees. While Castro, Headley, Frazier, Andujar & 1 other prospect to the Marlins.
That would go against the no top prospects
Ya, Andujar and Frazier are top prospects. Despite being eight ABs over the min, Frazier is still basically a prospect. If this is the deal, I don't like it.
Frazier makes sense - no home for him with stanton and judge
but I think Frazier being a part of any deal is a given. I'd give up both if Ellsbury was being taken off our hands. But if they are only taking Castro's and Headley's salary then Id rather give up just one of Anujar or Frazier. Frazier leaving makes sense as he will be stuck in the minors for a couple of years with the Yanks.

No other major leaguers are going to #Marlins in the Stanton trade besides Castro according to Marlins source
I'd say if the deal gets done then I don't see the Yanks being in
play for either Harper or Machado next year. And I'm fine with that. Stantons current contract isn't too bad when compared to what Harper is gonna demand. I've heard baseball people say he's looking at a $400 million deal. And in a few years the Yanks are gonna have to pay their own guys as well. Having Stanton along with Judge, Sanchez, and Bird I. The lineup gives the Yanks the luxury of having younger players like Torres be in the lineup.

Does that mean 40 man or guys who actually played in a major league game? Could that possibly mean no Frazier or andujar? That would be great news

So that TMZ thing is fake I guess. Because they had Headley involved. Also Frazier who I would assume is considered a major leaguer?
Yeah that was too much wishful thinking.
Takes the song off of the plane
Ohtani situation.

Maybe down the road both can happen.

This is near a no brainer if no top prospects are involved and they swizzle the money to get under the tax. What pitchers are available?

Someone has to do the 1996 WCW Bash at the Beach video with Giancarlo Stanton as the 3rd man
That's true. Has that fact (no top prospects) been confirmed?

To get Stanton without giving up Any top prospects you have to do it, it is a no brainer

The report last night said Yankees had no interest unless they took on a contract and didn't have to give up their top guys...

Heyman reporting it and curry confirmed it
