The Yankees are in the process of acquiring outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, one of baseball’s best sluggers, according to several news outlets all citing anonymous sources.
FanRag Sports was first to report the trade Saturday morning.
Stanton, the National League’s most valuable player last season, has a no-trade clause in his contract with the Marlins, but it is believed that the Yankees are among the teams he is willing to go to. The trade was pending a physical examination, the news reports said.
It was not immediately known which players the Yankees would send to the Marlins in exchange for Stanton.
