The temperature of baseball’s winter hot stove has been relatively low thus far due to the Miami Marlins’ ongoing quandary on whether to trade behemoth slugger Giancarlo Stanton. But it appears the 28-year-old outfielder is comfortable with approving a blockbuster deal — just as long as a few select clubs are inclined.
In two recent reports from The Athletic’s insider Ken Rosenthal and SiriusXM radio host Craig Mish, Stanton is reportedly unwilling to sign off on a trade to the San Francisco Giants or St. Louis Cardinals. Instead, he’s supposedly open to joining one of four teams: the Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs, and… the Yankees.
