Phillies “aggressively pursuing” Giancarlo Stanton Probably Just Because They’re in the Neighborhood
By Justin Klugh
The Phillies have no legitimate trade chips, if their proposed trading partner is a team trying to avoid big contracts. Therefore, their rumored “aggressive pursuit” of Giancarlo Stanton seems appropriately out of the blue and inappropriately nonsensical. But, here it is, rumored up and everything.
WIP: Phillies aggressively in pursuit of Marlins OF Giancarlo Stanton. #cbsphilly

SECOND UPDATE:
UPDATE:
So, with this as ludicrous as it is, we turn to Twitter for the responses this news deserves. Oh, also, they’re opening a Federal Donuts at Citizens Bank Park.
Lots of people dismissing the Giancarlo Stanton rumors. But remember: Miami Marlins. Miami. Marlins. They would trade him for some cool pogs

I'm greatly amused & heartened that news about donuts has distracted PhilliesTwitter from that Stanton "report."

You say "aggressively pursuing," I see Ruben Amaro shouting horse shit deals through your mail slot.
