Look up almost any team, couple it with Stanton’s name, and you’re bound to find either a rumor or a wishful article by fans and news media alike tying Stanton to their respective team.

We know that he has a no-trade clause and can veto any deal Derek Jeter brings before him. This is important to remember, because if, say, the Toronto Blue Jays come up with the best package, it might be entirely irrelevant based upon Stanton’s opinion of maple bars (they’re delicious Giancarlo give them a try).
