Yankees, Marlins agree to terms for Giancarlo Stanton trade; NL MVP must agree to deal

— -- The New York Yankees?and? Miami Marlins?have agreed to a trade that would send? Giancarlo Stanton?to the Bronx, a source told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The trade has yet to become official, as Stanton, the reigning National League MVP, must still agrees to the terms as stipulated by his no-trade clause.

Infielder Starlin Castro would go to Miami as part of the deal, a second source familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

Stanton is owed $295 million over the next 10 years. ESPN previously reported Friday night that he was prepared to listen to a proposal involving the Yankees.

Talks between the Yankees and Marlins, whose new CEO is former Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, picked up Friday after the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants both released statements saying Stanton would not waive his no-trade clause for those teams.

The Yankees had thought that any deal for Stanton was completely out of the question, given their luxury-tax concerns and the early demands of the Marlins, but other teams dropping out led New York and Miami to re-engage in talks earlier this week.

Stanton, just the sixth player to win the MVP award while playing for a losing team, led the majors this past season in home runs (59), RBIs (132), extra-base hits (91) and slugging percentage (.631), each of which set a Marlins single-season record, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

His 59 home runs were the most in the majors since 2001, when Barry Bonds hit a record 73 and Sammy Sosa had 64.

If Stanton agrees to the deal, he would join sluggers Aaron Judge, who led the American League with 52 home runs last season, and Gary Sanchez, who hit 33, in the Yankees' lineup for new manager Aaron Boone.

Saturday's news sparked reaction throughout the baseball world on social media.

In his eight seasons with the Marlins, Stanton, a career .268 hitter, has belted 267 home runs and has 672 RBIs.?

The four-time All-Star selection was the 76th player taken in the 2007 draft. Of those taken before him, 21 have played fewer than 100 games in the majors and 27 never made a big league debut.
