Huh...well that is interesting indeed.

Does his contract run out soon?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Gianmikeo Stanton and Florida reportedly talking about a $300m contract

[SD]

Hof Heyward was just traded to the cards

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I wonder why they dealt him?

Heyward and Walden for Shelby Miller and a minor leaguer

Also...Toronto gave Russell Martin 5/$82M

The farg?

[BigEd76]

Heyward has 1 year left and wants a huge deal.  Miller is under contract for 4 or 5 years

[MDS]

sad that there's no sense in figuring out what the heyward trade means for the phllies....it means nothing. they suck.

the martin deal is a definite sign toronto is serious. hamels deal on the way?

[Rome]

why would hamels ever agree to a trade to toronto?

unless that was sarcasm.  then lolz.

[MDS]

he obviously wants no part of this team, and who could blame him. but the only 3 teams that have the $ to afford cole and the prospects for the phillies are boston, toronto and chicago.

his preference is obviously 1- chicago 2- boston 3-toronto....but if the blue jays are the only/best deal out there, why wouldnt he take it? plus, im not sure which teams are on his no trade list.

[ice grillin you]

i was just reading an article on the stanton deal

during the 2018 and 2019 seasons he will make 77 million dollars

[Dillen]

TUESDAY, 4:25pm: Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets the full breakdown: after earning the previously-reported $30MM total over the first three years of the deal, Stanton will take home annual values of $25MM (2018), $26MM (2019, 2020), $29MM (2021, 2022), $32MM (2023, 2024, 2025), $29MM (2026), and $25MM (2027).

The deal also includes a $25MM club option for 2028, which comes with a $10MM buyout to make up the remainder of the guaranteed value in the deal.

[Rome]

That's a staggering amount of cash.

Good for him.

[PhillyPhreak54]

It's a great deal for him.

Too bad he has to endure that scumbag Loria and his mini-me jerkoff Samson

[SunMo]

he didn't have to sign on and stay there... he gets what he deserves.  after all that bitching about them not putting a team around him he signs himself up until he's at least 31 with a management who has proven they will gut the team whenever they want

[hbionic]

But they have 2 championships in 14 years, not bad for a shteinhole team, with a cheap payroll (previously), cheap owner, and non-existent fans.

Dodgers have mule dick in 26 years...and counting.

[Rome]

Oh boo hoo.  The Lakers & Kings have won about 50 titles in that time frame, so quit feeling sorry for yourself.
