MLB players hilariously try to persuade Giancarlo Stanton to join their team through social media



Miami Marlins rightfielder Giancarlo Stanton is coming off a career season where we saw him hit 59 home runs and drive in 132 runs in 159 games, but it's starting to look like we’re going to see him in a different uniform next season.

While it’s not guaranteed that the Marlins are going to deal their superstar, the team already announced that they plan on making a lot of cuts when it comes to the team’s payroll which resulted in multiple teams around the league reaching out to find out the asking price of the 2017 NL MVP.

If he wants to wait on the #Dodgers, he can — even if that means saying no to everyone else this offseason and revisiting in July/August or next winter. @MLB @MLBNetwork — Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) December 3, 2017

Considering Stanton has a no-trade clause in place the decision to leave Miami is pretty much up to him at the end of the day and the league and the players know that, which is why many of them have started to reach out to Stanton on social media in hopes of persuading him to choose their team.



Considering Stanton is a four-time All-Star, a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner, a two-time Hank Aaron Award winner and a two-time NL home run leader, it’s no surprise that players around the league are doing their best to get him to join their club.

Through eight MLB seasons, Stanton has hit 267 home runs and has driven in 672 runs to go along with a .268 batting average and a .360 on-base percentage.
