Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported on Saturday night that the Marlins have made contact with the Padres to inquire about their interest in young slugger Giancarlo Stanton. And now comes the big denial, via the Miami Herald?s Clark Spencer:
Simply put, the Marlins ?are not moving him,? according to a source I spoke with. They haven?t even ?discussed? it internally. The team?s plans calling for Stanton to start the season with the club and occupy the clean-up spot have ?not changed at all,? according to another source with knowledge of the Marlins? intentions.
Spencer?s source went on to exclaim that Center?s report from Saturday evening is ?completely off base? and ?totally ridiculous.?
Stanton isn?t even?arbitration-eligible until next year and can?t hit the free agent market until after the 2016 season, so the Fish have no real reason to rush him out the door. But he has publicly expressed his displeasure with the club?s latest firesale and one wonders if he?ll have more to say this summer.
