Regarding the Stanton trade, fans of teams other than the Yankees might hate this trade, but in a real way, it saves the Marlins and helps them live to fight another day. I read a quote online...somewhere, I don't know where...that other teams hate the Yankees until they have nowhere else to turn. That looks to be the case here. Did the Yankees fleece the Marlins, yeah it looks that way, but in the end, the Marlins fleeced themselves signing Stanton to that original contract, which they had to know would put them over the proverbial barrel. I guess the Marlins' new owners had to pay for the sins of the previous owner.

Some would say Jeter is a double agent - they should retire his number again!
