Giancarlo Stanton To Meet With Marlins After World Series

Oct 26, 2017 10:38 AM

Giancarlo Stanton will meet with the Miami Marlins' new ownership group after the conclusion of the World Series, he told Jimmy Kimmel this week.

Stanton may be involved in trade rumors all winter, but the slugger has full no-trade protection.

It has been rumored that the Marlins want to drop their payroll into the $90 million range, which would be difficult with Stanton's contract in the mix. The fact that he hit 59 home runs this season and turns just 28 next month makes him a desirable trade target.

Yankees Could Trade Dellin Betances, Adam Warren

Oct 16, 2017 10:44 AM

TThe New York Yankees will attempt to drop their payroll below the $197 million luxury tax threshold next season. Hal Steinbrenner has demanded it and Brian Cashman publicly vowed to make it happen.

The Yankees could trade Dellin Betances and Adam Warren to clear salary.

Betances and Warren combined for 117 innings and a 2.62 ERA, but the emergence of Chad Green and the acquisitions of Tommy Kahnle and David Robertson make them more expendable. 

MLB Trade Rumors projected Betances’ 2018 salary at $4.4 million and Warren’s at $3.1 million.
