Stanton is getting 25-26 million next year guaranteed.
A deal could have been made where the Marlins split that cost with the club that acquires him, Miami would still pay some part of it, just not the whole amount.
But the new owners have decided to threaten Stanton instead of treating him with the respect that he deserves, and now all bets are off.
Wow.
If I were him I’d jump at the chance to get away from this dysfunctional franchise and play for a quality organization like St. Louis.
