If you have had access to any kind of connection to the internet in the past couple of days, you may be aware that Giancarlo Stanton is on the verge of being traded to either the St. Louis Cardinals or the San Francisco Giants. The possibility of a trade with either team carries with it drastically varying implications for the impending Marlins rebuild.
Most fans are hoping that the deal can be done with the Cardinals. The Cardinals have a hotbed of pitching talent in their minor league organizations ripe for the picking, with names such as Luke Weaver, Jack Flaherty, Alex Reyes, Sandy Alcantara and Dakota Hudson readily coming to mind.
