Odd couple: Stanton, Ramos as roomies in house divided

Talk about PORT ST. LUCIE, FLA. » a house divided.

Giancarlo Stanton and AJ Ramos, former teammates with the Miami Marlins and still close friends, are looking into living together this season now that both play in New York. It would seem to be a convenient arrangement, with one on the road most of the time anyway — except when Stanton and the Yankees face Ramos and the Mets in the Subway Series.

“I’m going to be setting some traps for him. You know, might mess up his sleep a little bit, stuff like that,” Ramos said. “But no, we’re still looking. Nothing set in stone just yet.”

At spring training Monday, the Mets’ reliever was asked how you split a grocery bill with a roommate who has a $325 million contract?

“Oh, he buys it all. For sure,” Ramos said with a smile. “I’m just playin’. Nah, it’s good times, man.”

Ramos, a 2016 All-Star, was traded by the Marlins to the Mets last July. Stanton was dealt to the Yankees in December as part of Miami’s payroll purge under new ownership.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Stanton socked 59 home runs last year, most by a major leaguer since 2001, and won the NL MVP award. Now he moves from cavernous Marlins Park into hitterfriendly Yankee Stadium, with its familiar short porch in right field.

“I mean, he can get jammed and hit a ball out there. That park is very small,” Ramos said. “He can basically burp a ball out. So I think he’s gonna do pretty good.”
