The Marlins appear ready to trade last season's home run king. Where could he go?
The Miami Marlins are reportedly shopping Giancarlo Stanton, Major League Baseball's home run king, in an effort to bring down their payroll. Despite the fact Stanton is an MVP candidate and coming off a career-high 59 home runs this season, Miami is ready to move the young slugger, thanks mainly to a contract that is the most expensive in baseball.
His 13-year, $325-million deal has 10 more years left on it at a cost of $295 million, with a player opt-out after the 2020 season.
