This is never going to happen and does not make sense for the Jays. Also, this is a deadly contract toward the back half and would cost them Vlad Jr. (which is not good)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your calculations do not include the 4-5 prospects it would take to acquire Stanton and their WAR contributions over the next 10 seasons.

It would likely take 2 upper tier prospects and 2-3 mid tier prospects to accomplish.  So that would mean (assuming Vladimir Guerrero Jr. &amp; Bo Bichette are untouchable):

Anthony Alford, Logan Warmouth, Conner Greene, Sean Reid-Foley &amp; Max Pentecost for Giancarlo Stanton]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your estimated benefit is WAY too high, probably 2x too high. If Stanton carried anything like the surplus value you suggest, he would not have cleared trade waivers. Indeed, the fact that nobody claimed him is the best evidence of his market value, i.e. probably less than his contract, or at best marginally above it.

That said, I think Stanton would look great in RF at Rogers Centre.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The surplus value calculations don&#039;t take into account that the full cost for Stanton would be more than his salary. Granted their value would be hard to quantify, it would also include the players who are traded away to obtain him. 

Presumably, they would be prospects who, because their salaries would be much lower, could produce fewer WAR but generate more surplus value.]]></description>
