Stanton Open To Long-Term Deal With Marlins

Giancarlo Stanton is open to the idea of signing a long-term deal with the Miami Marlins.
Stanton, who agreed to a $6.5 million deal last month to avoid arbitration, said that he does want to see the Marlins "going in the right direction" before considering a long-term deal.
I want some team security as well," Stanton told MLB.com. "I'm very pleased with how things panned out for me. But I would like to see [the team] grow. I have my security somewhat now. I'd like to see a team full of that."
The 24-year-old, who is eligible to become a free agent after the 2016 season, said he does not expect to talk about an extension until after this upcoming season.
