The Marlins’ trade talks involving slugger Giancarlo Stanton continue to move along, with the San Francisco Giants having submitted an offer, according to noted baseball writer Ken Rosenthal of Fox and The Athletic.
Colleague Clark Spencer and I reported several months ago that the Giants were the one team to whom the Marlins were sure they would be able to trade Stanton, if they chose.
The Giants don’t have a great farm system but are willing to pick up a sizable amount of the $295 million due Stanton over the final 10 years of his contract, according to Rosenthal.
