Stanton, of course, is the main attraction in baseball right now, as the Marlins made it quite clear that they intend to shed some of their payroll. Stanton has a full no-trade clause in his contract, which has another 10 years and $295 million remaining. The San Francisco Giants are willing to take on the entire contract, according to Mish, which also includes an opt-out clause after the 2020 season.
Tonight’s news has definitely sparked the most excitement in the Giants’ twitter community in a very long time, and it’s much-needed excitement after an abysmal 98-loss 2017 season.
