Stanton may not be available, or might be traded to someone else. We can't control that. We CAN be sure to be in the proper position for a deal that does come along, however.
The Houston Rockets tried to get Dwight Howard, or Pau Gasol, but they kept getting foiled. But they stuck with the "build tradable assets" plan, moved around some pieces, and netted James Harden.
We haven't spend half a decade creating all this upper-level farm surplus just to let it rot in the granaries. We'll trade it off to someone, FOR someone.
Might not be Stanton, because we can't make the Marlins take our deal, but somebody will take our offer. Franklin, Miller, Romero, Seager, Ackley, 7 starters, a couple/three catchers and a partridge in a pear tree can't all play on the same team.
