re: MLB Offseason Thread: Hosmer to the Padres, Twins get a starter

In recent days, multiple major league sources have told The Athletic that Stanton does not want the San Francisco Giants or St. Louis Cardinals, the two teams that have reached trade agreements with the Marlins, pending the player’s approval.
Stanton’s thinking is fluid, other sources say—he does not deal in absolutes. Perhaps the Giants could sway him if they landed Japanese two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Perhaps the Cardinals could build their own convincing case by trading for Rays closer Alex Colome and third baseman Evan Longoria.
Both teams, though, likely are growing impatient. Giants officials met in Los Angeles with Stanton and his representatives at the Wasserman Media Company last Friday. Cardinals officials met with the Stanton group on Saturday. Stanton is known to be deliberate in his decision-making, but his suitors cannot wait on him the entire off-season, and soon might turn to other solutions.

The Marlins have made their desperate need to dump costs too obvious, so Stanton holds all the cards. I think he'll get the Dodgers deal in the end.

I dont see how this immediately makes the Giants a contender. We really aren't certain how good the guy is going to be quite yet. Even if he was good, San Fran was the worst team in the league this past season.

Interesting. What prospects would the Dodgers give up to get him? I don’t see the Cardinals getting Colome and Longoria. Sounds like it’s time to move onto someone else. I still don’t see how no trade clauses are wise decisions for small market teams like the Marlins. They are likely going to have to take a weak deal to move him.
