Marlins try to reel in buyer for Stanton

ORLANDO, FLA.— The Miami Marlins will spend this week’s general managers’ meetings shopping Giancarlo Stanton, the pricey slugger who led the major leagues with 59 home runs but does not fit into the plans of the new payroll-paring baseball operations staff headed by former Yankees star Derek Jeter. Marlins president of baseball operations Mike Hill said, “I think over the next few days I’ll get a feel for what the marketplace is.” Stanton has $295 million U.S. left on a13-year, $325-million contract.
