Stanton get $300 million at 13 years from the Marlins

[KingofNicotine]

Biggest contract ever supposedly. WOW! I am shocked. The guy is great but c'mon. Marlins are crazy.

 

[CHOPTALK]

That's the biggest in dollars but not per year.

Marlins basically had no choice

These guys are morons. For all they know, he will be a different player at the plate with all that money and having his face shattered.

 

[scottcarter]

who?

He's a Great All around player with above avg. Power. and probably will give you 25+ HR's a season. But he strikes out a lot too.
When he Hits you, he really Hits you.

Don't think he's worth this kind of money, but he has only been in the majors for 5 years

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Stop the insanity.....these owners are to blame....

 

[BostonBettor]

Imo they would be much better off trading him. When has one of these huge long term contracts ever worked out for the team?

These guys are morons. For all they know, he will be a different player at the plate with all that money and having his face shattered.

Totally agree. It would be overpaying and scary enough without him getting hit in the face.. Now for all we know he could be a little timid. In baseball, any small difference in any aspect of hitting can have a huge impact on a players sucsess.

 

[Betallsports]

Local news reports it's for $325 Million

and a no trade clause to boot

The Marlins attendance usually is around 8000 popcorn-eatinggif
