I think the Marlins could be legitimately interested in moving Stanton for the right offer Iggs. This is Stanton's best season since 2014 and he's had trouble staying healthy and keeping his swing consistent the past couple of years. Also, he's owed $30 million a season and almost $300 million total left on his deal provided he doesn't opt out in 2020.
The Marlins are losing around $70 million this season and Loria is selling the team. The new ownership group has already hinted that they would like to rebuild the team and drop payroll from the $115-120 million figure it's at right now. Moving Stanton (who is already almost 28 and likely too old to wait 3-4 years for a rebuild) would help cut payroll and bring some top prospects back to the team's farm system which is horribly lacking right now.
It'd still be tough moving Stanton though, since there's only a handful of teams out there that could absorb that kind of salary plus cough up top prospects. Might be easier for the Marlins to get some good pieces back if they eat some of Stanton's salary, but not sure how willing ownership is to do that. Plus that 2020 opt-out is a risk for any team trading for Stanton if he continues to beast these next couple of years. So, it's doubtful Stanton is traded this month, since most teams already have their payrolls set for the remainder of the season. But, there's definitely a strong chance we see a market develop for him this offseason and something happens.
Either way, it's really enjoyable watching Stanton demolishing pitches right now. Hopefully he reaches 61 homers this season and ties Maris.
