    Their take is pretty harsh, but they aren't entirely wrong.

    Report: Clubs Stanton would OK intriguing

    MIAMI -- Where Giancarlo Stanton plays in 2018 may not be resolved quickly after all. The National League MVP Award winner reportedly is not currently willing to accept a trade to the Giants or Cardinals.

    On Thursday night, MLB Network Insider Ken Rosenthal reported Stanton is electing not to accept proposed deals to those two teams, both of which had previously worked out trade frameworks with Miami.

    The report added Stanton would consider trades to the Dodgers or Yankees. Another report, from Craig Mish of SiriusXM, added the Cubs and Astros to the list of Stanton's preferred destinations. Thus, what's next for the slugger promises to be one of the top stories of the Winter Meetings, which begin on Monday in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

    Neither the Marlins or anyone who represents Stanton has confirmed the report.

    Sources have told MLB.com that until Thursday, the Marlins had not engaged in any serious trade discussions with clubs other than the Giants and Cardinals. There will likely be a frenzy surrounding Stanton at the Winter Meetings, where clubs can talk face to face, and typically, creative ideas surface.

    But what isn't clear is if the Marlins have a fallback plan should Stanton decline all trade offers and decide to remain in Miami. And, of course, Stanton can still change his mind and tell the Marlins he would be willing to expand the list of teams he would accept a trade to, including the Giants and Cardinals, making this situation extremely fluid.

    Multiple sources have said if Stanton stays, it increases the likelihood that All-Star left fielder Marcell Ozuna could be moved. Ideally, the Marlins would like to retain center fielder Christian Yelich, but that could change depending on potential trade offers.

    The Marlins are trimming payroll as part of their organizational building process. Stanton will make $25 million in 2018 and he has $295 million remaining over the last 10 years of the contract. Stanton's contract has a full no-trade clause and an opt-out in 2020.

    Yeah, the Giants and Cardinals don't need any more firepower. Screw them. Good call JC.

    The Rockies have doubled down on their young starters by spending a TON of money on the relief staff. Bold move, Cotton.

    I don't even know what the Phillies are doing right now. I'm scared to find out.

    Heard an interview with your new manager, he sounds like a douchebag.

    Watched "Billy" on MLB last night. It's a 2-hour retrospective on Billy Martin. Really well done. Worth the watch if you can.

    The Phillies signed Carlos Santana to a 3-year deal. He clearly doesn't care about winning a championship.

    Darvish, Cubs agree to 6-year deal

    Yu Darvish is headed to the Cubs. Darvish and the club agreed to a six-year deal on Saturday that guarantees the right-hander $126 million, two sources told MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi and Carrie Muskat. The Cubs did not confirm the deal, which is pending a physical exam.

    Darvish's $126 million contract would be the largest free-agent deal so far this offseason. Sources told MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal that the contract includes incentives that could push its total value to $150 million, though Darvish would have to win multiple Cy Young Awards to reach that figure. The contract includes an opt-out clause and no-trade protection, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reported.

    Jake Arrieta to the Phillies?


    With a crop of youngsters that includes Rhys Hoskins, J.P. Crawford, Scott Kingery and Jorge Alfaro, the Phillies appear to be on the cusp of a revival. Although the club has already added Carlos Santana on a three-year deal to bolster the lineup, Philadelphia still needs to stabilize its rotation. Adding Arrieta could accomplish that goal and help the Phils contend even sooner than expected. The Cubs made a similar move by signing Jon Lester after going 73-89 in 2014, and the veteran lefty was a key part of the team surprisingly winning 97 games and making the NL Championship Series the following season.

    Paid way too much for someone who is probably a 4th or 5th starter in the rotation at best now in his career.
