The Miami Marlins, under new owners and new CEO Derek Jeter, have said that they will most likely be cutting down payroll. The player with the largest contract by far is outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. He is owed $285 million in the next 10 seasons with a $25 million option for 2028. However, he has an opt-out after the 2020 season. The NL MVP has full no-trade protection so, potentially, he could block a trade anywhere. However, there are some reasons why the Rockies should try to get him.
As Jon Tayler of Sports Illustrated noted a few days ago, with the thin air at Coors Field, he could, realistically, hit 50 home runs just at Coors Field alone.
