The Miami Marlins need to straighten up their financials, but Derek Jeter says it's not given that the club will trade Giancarlo Stanton.

Jeter has yet to speak directly to Stanton, but said it's not a foregone conclusion that Stanton will be with another team on Opening Day of 2018.

"There are some financial things we have to get in order," Jeter said. "That's the bottom line. It's an organization that's been losing money for quite some time, so we have to turn that around. How we do that is not clear. It's easy to point the finger at [Stanton] because he makes the most money, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's the move that's going to be made.

"I understand the assumptions. I do. But we have not come out publicly and said we are trading any particular player. I've been a player. You don't like to see your name constantly in the rumors that are going back and forth with every organization. You can drive yourself crazy. So we have not come out and pointed the finger specifically at any one player."
