No other major leaguers are going to #Marlins in the Stanton trade besides Castro according to Marlins source
Damn...wish Headley went too. No way Ellsbury was going.
It's kind of funny how quickly the Yanks sucked up all the oxygen

Wow that sucks. That makes it difficult for them to be under the tax threshold. Headley and Castros combined salary could have offset Stanton's for this year. If the Marlins aren't taking Headley either then I hope we don't give them even a Frazier or Andujar level prospect.
I barely slept last night waiting on confirmation.
Torres, Florial, Adams, and Sheffield. Frazier's value peaked before he was brought up to the bigs and was headed south. And Andujar has a strong arm and a powerful bat, but was shaky in the field and didn't project to hit for average at the major league level (my uninformed, unexpert opinion).
My biggest issue with the cost in players/prospects is that these were some of their best (but expendable) bargaining chips for landing a frontline pitcher this winter or at the trading deadline. I think Torres and Florial will remain untouchables, with Adams and/or Sheffield left to highlight any future trades.
right after the Angels signed Otani. Even then, the Angels are still an afterthought 😂
Speaking of Ohtani, Buster Olney said yesterday on Kay's show that MLB will likely investigate the Ohtani signing process very closely. There are whispers out there that people close to Ohtani have new cars or kororcyxles all of a sudden.

Why make a deal when Adams and/or Sheffield just may be a part of the rotation very soon? They dont have to make a deal. They are loaded with young arms

Frazier and Andujar have not lost any value. Both are projected to be starting players in the majors and will be very good ones. The limited action they saw last year did not dent their status as top prospects.
Could trade for a top 5 player in baseball without giving up any top prospects and still not like the deal.
My concern is that he is coming off a career year and won't be a top 5 or 10 or even a top 15 or 20 player going forward. Last year he hit .281, but the year before that he hit .240 and his lifetime batting average is .268.
Frazier makes sense now, how is he ever going to play here now? No way, Judge and Stanton are the corner outfielders for quite a while now. Might as well include Frazier. Maybe Gardner and Castro are also included if not Ellsbury as reported, a deal with Frazier, Gardner, and Castro actually makes sense on both sides.

Nobody cares about batting average anymore. Its a terrible metric to judge value
Stanton & Prado to the Yankees. While Castro, Headley, Frazier, Andujar & 1 other prospect to the Marlins.
Doubt that is the deal, because what type of sources does TMZ Sports have? If it is, I don't like it. That is two of our top prospects. I wouldn't give up any. Just take on all the money and hold firm on no top prospects. Marlins are desperate to unload this contract and he has a NTC he has yielded already. No way I include even one of Frazier or Andujar in this deal. We're talking about a stud, but one with a 10 year contract to age 37, and the guy has an injury history. And the only position he has ever played, we have Judge. So he is essentially a DH for us.
Frazier makes sense now, how is he ever going to play here now? No way, Judge and Stanton are the corner outfielders for quite a while now. Might as well include Frazier. Maybe Gardner and Castro are also included if not Ellsbury as reported, a deal with Frazier, Gardner, and Castro actually makes sense on both sides.
Gardner and Ellsbury won't be included. Right now the only major leaguer that is confirmed to be a part of the deal is Castro. I hope we can get rid of Headley as well.

Gardner is defacto captain. Doubt he goes (hopefully).
and no, people, giancarlo wouldn't invoke no-trade just to mess with jeter. it is his call what to do, but yankees have been working with the belief he would accept NYY. @CraigMish list of dodgers, nyy, astros, cubs as likely approvals thought to be accurate.
give marlins/mike hill credit. he was able to make 3 quick agreements for stanton. also shows you how much marlins needed to move him. there's no way to get to reasonable payroll (85M-90M) without dealing GS.
RE: The 1 writer last night who was saying this wasn't happening
The #Yankees are back to being those damn Yankees, Dec. 9,2017.
Lol. The Dodgers get to have a $300 million payroll year after year and nobody says a word. The Yankees have Stanton basically forced on them in a deal too good to be true and people immediately start crying about the damn Yankees.

Exactly. At this point, it doesn't even phase me. Might as well embrace it. Yeah, we're the heels, blah, blah, blah. Now, go win championships. :)
Next year I believe is Gardner's last year as Yankee.
Know when we know, at this point no need to listen to the rumors, wait until we hear from the people we know are informed. Right now we know Castro. We don't know about Prado coming here for sure either, if he does then maybe Headley is also included.

The Marlins are desperate to get rid of this contract, plus they had two offers rejected by Stanton, The Giants and Cards are no slouch franchise, so what does that leave, Yanks, Astros, Cubs, and Dodgers, you think the Dodgers are going to agree to a 300 mil payroll, plus think about who is the owner of the Marlins? I think it will be for more then that, but I don't think it will be for anything close to what Stanton is worth if you take on that entire contract.

If that is all that the Yankees give up for Stanton then it is a huge win for them. I realize that contract will likely be an albatross at some point but it gives the Yankees another star power hitter for 5-6 years. It also allows them to trade Frazier for SP help.
Mantle / Maris terrorizing pitchers back in 1961. Gonna be an awesome summer watching this lineup as Judge / Stanton try to outdo each other.
And holy cow - imagine if Bird stays healthy and starts a run of launching moonshots to right field like he is capable. Also, expect Torres to come up and play 2nd in place of Castro. He goes on tears as well. There's going to be some high scoring games this season and more than a few pitchers' ERA is going to explode. Can't imagine any pitcher wanting to face this lineup.

Future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!
Don't forgot about Didi or Sanchez when you dream about the lineup. Gonna need some thicker shades!!

CF Gardner
3B Gleyber
RF Judge
LF Stanton
C Sanchez
1b Bird
who plays 2b??? I like Castro a lot.
Who is DH?
Torres at 2nd - Gardy, Judge, Stanton, or Hicks at DH in a rotation
Uhhhhh, no way in hell Stanton plays LF over Gardner.
Wrong.
Judge will move to LF. And they will have to DH spot to rotate them all around.
I read that Stanton flew to Tampa last night to meet with Yankees officials and take his physical today.

We have Torreyes. Why would we need Prado?
@Ken_Rosenthal
Expectation is that Stanton will approve trade to #Yankees, if he hasnt already. Deal pending physicals.

I think Prado replaces Todd Frazier
@SportsCenter
The Yankees and Marlins are negotiating the final terms of a trade for reigning NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney.
Yankees get Stanton for Starlin Castro and prospect Trevor Stephan (30th on MLB, teens on BA). Is that it?
Trevor Stephan 3rd round pick in 2017
Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 55 | Overall: 45
If that is all that the Yankees give up for Stanton then it is a huge win for them. I realize that contract will likely be an albatross at some point but it gives the Yankees another star power hitter for 5-6 years. It also allows them to trade Frazier for SP help.
Ha - nice and only at 10 x the annual salary...
