According to
ESPN.com's
Buster Olney,
the prospect asking price from the Miami Marlins for Giancarlo Stanton is "shockingly high". It appears that
Derek Jeter is asking for the moon—and basically ignoring the ridiculous $295 million albatross that
also comes with acquiring the slugger (not to mention the 2020 opt-out provision in his contract). Rumors persist, for example, that Jeter is demanding
Andrew Benintendi as the centerpiece of any deal with Boston (likely a non-starter for
Dave Dombrowski). Olney surmises that this is probably just posturing by Miami in the early stages of the negotiating process.
