TPM posted:I was excited until I heard about Jeter treated Stanton. And rumor is that he was told if he didnt take either deal with Cardinals or Giants they wanted him to take he woud be a Marlin for life (until free gency in 2020 at least) Stanton showed them up and took the deal he wanted. The deal was done by Michael Hill.
This has been a really bad display of the ugliness of mlb.
Still, hoping that they will rebuild the organization with people who know what they are doing.
I think the ugliness is at the same level it has always been in MLB. When Stanton signed his mega-deal for ten years with a low revenue club and never considered he would be half of the payroll of a bad team, that's on him.
