Marlins slugger and reigning NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton's representatives reportedly met with Giants executives in Los Angeles to discuss a potential trade, reports SiriusXM's Craig Mish.
Stanton, who led the majors in 2017 with 59 home runs and 132 RBIs, is owed $295 million for the last ten years of the record 13-year, $325 million deal he signed with Miami in November 2014. Built into that contract is a full no-trade clause, meaning Stanton would have to approve any deal. That gives Stanton leverage, as he essentially has the opportunity to hand-pick his next team. The Dodgers have emerged as a team that Stanton would approve a trade to.
