Funny to watch blowhard hater Jeff Passan feverishly try to find ways to tweet Loria hate at a time when Loria is doing something positive
RT @BNightengale: The #Marlins‘ $28.6 million in future commitments will soar to $353.6 million once Stanton contract is finalized.
RT @Deadspin: Some guy scooped the baseball media on the biggest MLB contract ever:
RT @NLEastTalk: Fun fact: When Giancarlo Stanton’s proposed contract ends, Bobby Bonilla will still have 7 years left on his with the #Mets.
2 months old but very relevant:

RT @JonHeymanCBS: icymi: marlins on same page for $ (13 yrs, $325M?), but sides still working on non-monetary issues.
RT @Buster_ESPN: Some execs note: If the Marlins lock up Stanton with the biggest contract in sports history, it will augment the franchise value.
RT @MLBNetworkRadio: Cishek on Marlins front office: “Everything is about winning now, not that it wasn’t before, but there was something different this year”
My guess on Marlins-Stanton negotiations:
GCMS: I wan’t to leave
MM: How much do you want to stay?
GCMS: A zillion dollars
MM: How’s $320M?
Now we know how much of a premium the Marlins have to pay to keep Stanton. I bet the Dodgers/Angels can sign him for $100M less.
