The Red Sox have not reached out to Giancarlo Stanton’s agent Joel Wolfe, and they probably understand that not only is Stanton’s contract sizeable, he—and no one else—will decide where he goes because of that contract. Boston is an unlikely choice (although Stanton’s mother is from Ponce), and while the Cardinals have reportedly made one of their best young pitchers available if the Derek Jeter ownership will take back some of the money, there is no comparable pitching in the upper half o the Boston system right now even if in the unlikely event Stanton says he’d go there that they could agree on player compensation. Understand: in the last week three different general managers of profitable market teams have said that if Stanton were put on waivers, he would, like Manny Ramirez 12 years ago, go unclaimed. That’s complicated.
