UPDATE: Giants meet With Stanton. Multiple reports suggest that a proposed trade that would send
Giancarlo Stanton to the San Francisco Giants
is very close to being finalized. There is even optimism that the NL MVP will (perhaps reluctantly) approve the trade. The Marlins would get 2B
Joe Panik along with pitching prospect
Tyler Beede and OF
Chris Shaw—
both Massachusetts natives. But more importantly for
Derek Jeter, the Giants would pick up $250 million of the remaining $295 million on Stanton's contract. Stay tuned!
