Are the Mets and Marlins Talking About Giancarlo Stanton?

Right after we watched the Miami Marlins engage in just their latest fire sale in November, we all wondered briefly whether or not Giancarlo Stanton would also be a part of this teardown. Even though he was not happy to see Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, John Buck, and Emilio Bonifacio get shipped north of the border to the Toronto Blue Jays, front office executives publicly said Stanton wasn’t going anywhere. It seemed very bleak, but I still wrote an article day dreaming about how awesome it’d be if the Mets could acquire him without giving up their impact prospects. However, I saw an article on Roto Experts that could be very interesting, or very scary, depending on which side you’re opinion lies.

Wouldn’t Acquiring Giancarlo Stanton Be Awesome?

As if the monster trade that went down this week between the Marlins and Blue Jays wasn’t enough of a fire sale for Miami, we got wind the team isn’t done dealing, as Logan Morrison and Ricky Nolasco are also on the block. Bud Selig hasn’t approved the mega-deal yet, but it doesn’t look like he’ll block it despite not being happy about it. This is just a very sad turn of events for a team that spent a helluva lot of money last year to try and compete, and it crashed and burned. Although I felt their logic was flawed from the beginning, it’s tough to see fans suffer like that…as we know all too well. The only player deemed “untouchable” on the Marlins is outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, and I’m sure at this point, he wishes he wasn’t. So, I wanted to ask the question…wouldn’t trading for this slugger be freakin’ awesome?
