The Miami Marlins are making a push for one of the two Wild Card spots in the National League, but Giancarlo Stanton isn't ready to commit to the club long-term.

Miami is playing .500 baseball after losing 100 games last season.

"Five months," Stanton said, "doesn't change five years."

Stanton, 24, can become a free agent in two years and the Marlins have the lowest payroll in the National League. There have already been rumors that he'll be traded before his arbitration cost becomes too much for owner Jeffrey Loria.

"We've definitely done better than anyone thought we would do," Stanton said. "At the same time, we're still not where we need to be to keep playing beyond the designed schedule. …I want to be the only game on TV at the end of the day.

"We're definitely in a positive direction. But we have a month to go to make the playoffs."
