According to
Mark Feinsand of
MLB.com, trade talks between the San Francisco Giants and the Miami Marlins
are now "deeper" with regard to super-star Giancarlo Stanton. Previous reports had the Giants shipping off 2B
Joe Panik and pitching prospects
Tyler Beede and
Chris Shaw (
both Massachusetts natives) to
The Fish. In return, San Francisco would get Stanton and 2B
Dee Gordon (along with, presumably, a huge chunk of Stanton's $295 million contract). The word is that—among the leading landing spots—Stanton prefers the Bay Area. However, while Feinsand says the Giants are the clear favorites to land Stanton, he believes that St. Louis is still in the mix. There is
no mention in Feinsand's report of any impending trade offer by the Red Sox.
