As many as eight teams are in discussions with the Miami Marlins regarding outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, with six of those clubs said to be "serious," Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. Might the San Francisco Giants be the most determined of the group?
That's the case, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Nightengale notes that a deal isn't close, but the Giants have been aggressive in their pursuit.
Further lending to this notion, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com tweeted earlier this week that Giants prospect Heliot Ramos has been discussed as a potential trade piece in a package to acquire Stanton.
