I've been thinking about this for about a month. I was going down the rabbit hole on a good defensive catcher and pitch framer we could acquire after watching Nola get squeezed. Stanton might actually be worth negative value right now with his contract. Especially, considering the Marlins are trying to sell the team. It's 10yr/295m after this season with a 2020 player opt out. The player I want from them is their catcher, J.T. Realmuto. He's getting better and better as a pitch framer and already plus offense/defense catcher. I'd trade Alfaro and Nick Williams for Stanton and Realmuto.

None of us know where the Marlins sale will lead and what sidebars will come as a result, but this has become one of the most talked-about subjects among baseball people. One reason there’s so much intrigue is the elephant in the room — Giancarlo Stanton and his enormous contract.

There’s been plenty of speculation as to how it will end up, but there’s been significant chatter in a few organizations, most notably the Phillies, which tends to indicate the Marlins could have a route to dealing Stanton.

One scenario I heard in Philadelphia this past week was that the Phillies would not only seek Stanton but would also need Christian Yelich in any deal with Miami. The reason is that the Phillies don’t have the best outfield prospects.
