But, Stanton wants to play in LA and the Dodgers havent completely shut the door on trading for him, though they havent exactly made it a priority either. There isn't a team in the league that wouldnt want Stanton in their lineup and with his NTC he can afford to just sit back and force the Marlins to trade him exactly where he wants to go, even if it means they get 3rd tier return.

supposedly the Dodgers are not interested because of the luxury tax cap. They would have to pay double his salary. So how about they send us Puig and we pay some of the Marlins money to keep them under the cap?
