The Miami Marlins will never actually pay Giancarlo Stanton $325 million

Notice the typical Marlins Park crowd in the background.







2015: $6.5 mil
2016: $9 mil
2017: $14.5 mil




  1. I'd heard about Stanton's $$$ breakdown -- didn't know all those details for JR and MB.

    But I also thought the team gave him a no-trade clause -- along with expressing a cynicism similar to yours here (apparently the team can be sold in two years), Dan LeBatard found the no-trade aspect quite out-of-the-norm.

    1. Yes, he does have a no-trade clause. But, why wouldn't he eagerly approve a trade to a contender when this team still stinks and hasn't spent any other money in a year or two? Him getting sick of being there would have to be a part of it, and I think that's a likely scenario.
