Once every decade or so, the Dodgers miss out on a chance to have Giancarlo Stanton play at home. The fearsome slugger and reigning National League MVP was traded by a desperate Marlins team on Saturday, but the Yankees were the big-market behemoth willing to swoop in and take advantage. Not the Dodgers.
Stanton to the Yankees is still pending a physical, but seemingly everyone expects that to be a formality. And unlike his rejection of the trade offers made by both the Cardinals and Giants, Stanton is expected to okay his move to New York.
