Sometimes he best trades are the ones that are not made. Stanton may have done the Giants/Cards a big favor.
“We had an agreement to acquire Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins, subject to him waiving his no-trade clause. We have been notified that he will not waive his no-trade clause to come to St. Louis.
While we are disappointed in his decision, we will continue to make every effort to improve our club for the upcoming season,”
“Unfortunately we were not able to convince Stanton to waive his no-trade clause and join the Cardinals. We felt this was a great landing spot for him, but it was not meant to be,”
This is about Jeter threatening Stanton that they would trade everyone around him if he didn’t agree to waive his no trade clause.
The taxpayers in Dade County have been screwed to the tune of 2 billion dollars in bond obligations on the new stadium.
Stanton is STANDING UP.
Integrity.
