The Cardinals do things the right way, though
Yeah, I've heard that BS forever. I actually hope they strike a deal for Stanton, and then Stanton blocks it with his no-trade. Would be fantastic.

The Cardinals do things the right way, though
Wow, just read about what happened
We are ****ed, wonder who the 13 guys are
Venezuelan infielder Kevin Maitan ($4.25 million signing bonus), Venezuelan catcher Abrahan Gutierrez ($3.53 million), Dominican shortstop Yunior Severino ($1.9 million), Dominican right-hander Juan Contreras ($1.2 million), Dominican shortstop Yenci Peña ($1.05 million), Dominican right-hander Yefri del Rosario ($1 million), Cuban outfielder Juan Carlos Negret ($1 million), Venezuelan shortstop Livan Soto ($1 million) and Colombian right-hander Guillermo Zuniga ($350,000).

Even if SF eats most of the money on his contract, you guys don't have the prospects to get a deal done. Weak farm system.Doesnt matter cause Stanton will be a giant
Apparently other prospects could be declared free agents too, but Maitan is the big fish. Teams have been trying to position themselves to sign Shohei Ohtani this offseason, but Maitan, who will be subject to the same financial restrictions, will serve as a solid consolation prize, assuming he's declared eligible to sign this winter. He was in pretty bad physical shape last season, prompting evaluators to say with confidence that he won't be able to stick at shortstop. However, he appears to have diligently worked on his conditioning this offseason, so he should at least be able to handle third base long term. The switch-hitting prodigy did not post impressive numbers last season as a 17-year-old in rookie ball, but he still has the potential to provide a plus hit tool and plus-plus raw power, which puts his fantasy ceiling in rare company among teenage prospects.
Dodgers gotta write up a thesis for Otani. Lol.
Than yall getting the wrong guyOtani will be a Yankee.
Ohtani is 23 years old. Even if he comes over and doesn't find immediate success, there's room/time for growth. Ichiro, both Matsuis, Tanaka, Darvish, and other imports have come over in their late 20s so those samples aren't directly indicative as their potential wasn't was Ohtani's is....
How many late bloomers have we seen in the Bigs the past couple years, both pitching and hitting? Yes the kid can be a bust, but the fact is that he's years away from even being in what would be considered his prime years. The potential just outweighs all risks at this point.
Ohtani and Giancarlo really makes this one of the greatest Offseasons in recent memory.
It's time to come home G.
