In response to "Starlin Castro, low-A righthander Jorge Guzman (NY's #9 prospect) and Jose Devers (not in NY's top 30), plus $30M in cash for Stanton" by Beaker

So that you can have a lineup with the AL and NL home run champ in it. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 12:10
As it is, people routinely overestimate how good Stanton is. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:04 1

It's like 30% of what someone should get for an MVP, but Stanton's contract adds complexity. - David Dec 9, 12:01 5
- And they gave him a no-trade clause with an opt-out included. I truly question how Jeffrey Loria ever got rich. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:05 1
  - I'm starting to think that the key isn't business acumen but simply willingness to perform treachery. -- nm - David Dec 9, 12:08
- Miami had no leverage. The teams he wants to play for don't need him so don't need to offer much beyond taking on his salary. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 12:04 2
  - Even so, I don't think Beaker (and presumably Deadspin and/or The Ringer) are wrong here. It's a BS trade. - David Dec 9, 12:09 1
    - heh, I just threw that in to get people going :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 12:29
