MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The new owners of the Miami Marlins, led by Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter, are inching closer to shipping their biggest star out of town.
It’s no secret that the Marlins have been shopping National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton due to the massive contract he signed in late 2014, which still owes the 28-year-old $295 million over the next 10 seasons.
The deal also includes a no-trade clause that Stanton would have to waive before any move can be completed.
Earlier this week it was reported by Sirius XM’s Craig Mish that the San Francisco Giants were willing to take on all of the money remaining on Stanton’s contract, which would seemingly be a major step in the right direction.
