Giancarlo Stanton (somewhat unsurprisingly) has been nominated as a finalist for the NL MVP award, alongside Paul Goldschmidt and Joey Votto, after posting one of the best offensive seasons in baseball history. He would be the Marlins’ first MVP, but supporters may not have too much time to celebrate the achievement as the rumor mill regarding the slugger's future continues to turn.
Of course, it is all speculation, but the sheer number of articles concerning a Stanton trade makes the move seem like a matter of how soon, not just when.
