Giancarlo Stanton trade rumors: Giants, Cardinals have frameworks in place | SBNation.com
Yesterday, Jon Morosi tweeted that both the Giants and the Cardinals "have agreed upon the general framework of a Stanton trade" with the Marlins. But that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to one of those two teams. Stanton reportedly wants to play for the Dodgers, and I'll just go ahead and assume the Dodgers would want Stanton to play for them.
Usually, the player doesn't have much agency in situations like this. It's different here. Stanton has a no-trade clause and has to approve any trade, so he can pick the Dodgers if they were to make an offer the Marlins find acceptable. The rough thing for Rockies fans is that, right now, two of the three most likely landing spots for Stanton are with an NL West team.
