MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton has a full no-trade clause, so the team cannot deal him without his consent.
So far, Stanton has apparently put his foot down on Boston, St. Louis, and San Francisco. But, if you thought Stanton has all the leverage in this situation, the Marlins might feel otherwise.
According to Clark Spencer of The Miami Herald, the Marlins have warned Stanton that if he refuses a trade, he’ll have to remain a Marlin on a stripped down roster. They plan to severely cut spending with our without him.
