MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Major League Baseball’s annual winter meetings are coming up in a few short weeks which means the rumor mill is beginning to spin faster and faster.
Miami Marlins outfielder and newly minted National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton is the biggest name being floated around, with expectations that he’ll more than likely begin next season wearing a new uniform.
The Marlins are under new ownership for the first time in 15 years and the powers that be, led by Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman, are looking for ways to save money.
Naturally, getting rid of the player with the biggest contract (not just on the team, but the biggest contract in all of professional sports) would provide a quick and simple solution.
