Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I don't think there was any collusion. Stanton had a list of 4 teams he wanted to go to...the Yankees made a move. From every indication, the Dodgers weren't that interested...the Cubs have bigger issues to worry about with pitching and Houston doesn't need any more offense..

Is there any worse team to be a fan of than the Marlins?

Mets

We need to sign Darvish and trade for a 2B like Hernandez, trade for 3B Prado from the Marlins to platoon with Valbuena, add a few back end arms and call it an offseason.

Well at least the Mets have Thor, DeGrom, Bruce, Conforto, Cespedes and some really exciting prospects.

Yep its the most blantant collusion in sports i've ever heard of, HOF guy from the Yankees becomes owner of a team who has a player they've been wanting for years, then trades him to the Yankees.

The Angels need Salmon & GA to buy the Dbacks or Padres & trade all their good players to the Angels for a bag of balls since its ok for the Yankees to have one of their retired future HOFers go out & buy the Marlins just so they can get Stanton.

I'm betting Stanton's nickname will become "Stanton island (he hit that ball all the way to Staten island !) "

Jeter just won the WS for the Yankees as owner of the Marlins lol, Stanton + Judge will produce a combined 110 HRs.

Um Padres don't have any good players!

There’s gotta be collusion here 

whens the mlb investigation start ?! Tampering !!!

nvm it’s the New York Yankees 

[kevinb]

Dude had a no trade clause stop with collusion he basically got to pick where he wanted to go. Oh also don’t give someone a no trade clause if u don’t expect him to use it. He owes the Marlins absolutely nothing. He wanted to go to Yankees and three other teams. Yankees stepped up. That was all. 

[eligrba]

The only investigation planned by MLB is with the Ohtani decision.  Why would the MLB be concerned about what the Yankees do with the Marlins who have a former Yankee as a new owner?

After watching the bullshit happening with our dysfunctional government, this seems to make perfect sense.

[Erstad Grit]

I made the collusion comment and I was totally joking. No way Jeter spends that much money to own a team to help the Yankees.

Than why weren't other American League teams considered?  I believe there is an American League on the west coast, near LA that would meet the majority of GCS criteria.

[Troll Daddy]

Basically the Yanks are paying Stanton 3yrs/$50M for his services with the exclusion on Castro’s money. 

NICE

btw bet the farm that Stanton opts out or renegotiates a deal with the Yanks.

That west coast AL team does not wear pinstripes, which everyone knows are very slimming.

Because as much as they're a division rival, I hate them so much less than the Doyers or Stanks.

I wanted to be able to actually root for the guy, hard to do when he's in blue or pinstripes.

 

You know Strad, we're allowed to like other teams and players that are on other teams, right?

What are you 6 years old? Unreal.

I’m sorry you didn’t like my question.  I’ll try to be more real in the future, or less unreal.  I understand liking other teams and players, but I personally would prefer the Dodgers and the Yankees getting better over the World Deries champions that happen to be in our division.

Interesting that it hasn’t been confirmed that Stanton has waived his no-trade clause yet. If what some have reported is true that he had his heart set on the Dodgers, it would make sense that he and his agent work back channels along with the Marlins to see if Miami,  now that all the cards are on the table, could get a better deal with LAD.

Everything I've read has said he's already in NY and taking his physical. Probably just awaiting results from both teams on their physicals if I had to guess.

If the Dodgers wanted GCS; he would have been there.

Makes sense. The point I was trying to make is that Stanton really does hold all of the cards - or at least most of them - in this scenario.

[Puget Sound Angel]

So MLB is gonna have an investigation into the Ohtani signing, but this collusion between Jeter and the Yankees is OK? For all things MLB, Jeter is the golden child.

He does.

Which is why he should demand a trade to play with Trout... 

[Kenny]

Was hoping he’d go to the Dodgers.  I like the guy, and was hoping he’d get to play in his hometown.

Are you people unclear on no trade clauses?

New York and Boston can do what ever they want and MLB won't do crap to them, Pussy ass Jeter helping his Former team New York,

[m0nkey]

How is this collusion? It's LITERALLY (and figuratively) the third trade that the marlins worked out with Stanton. He just used his no trade clause on the first two
