Before the Giancarlo Stanton update, here is what went down yesterday at Viva El Birdos:
- Matt Carpenter is the most underrated player in baseball: Johns explains why Matt Carpenter is being underrated by both media personnel and fans alike.
- Twins sign Willians Astudillo and one writer is devastated: (Begins sobbing uncontrollably)
- #tbt to when Carlos Martínez was almost a priest - A Hunt and Peck: On this week's Tsunamy Thursday, Heather revisits Carlos Martinez and his childhood pursuit for priesthood.
As for Stanton, it appears the Giants will be heading to Los Angeles today to meet with the agents of Giancarlo Stanton. Craig Mish was first with the news.

Buster Olney and others confirmed:
In the Giants' meeting with Giancarlo Stanton's reps, they aim to ascertain whether he might approve a trade to San Francisco. To repeat: Stanton completely controls this process.

This comes after a report came out that Stanton has some concerns about the Giants future, per Jon Heyman. That’s reasonable given the Giants were really bad last year and most of their stars are in decline.
And just so everybody doesn’t freak out yet:
As Stanton’s camp meets with #SFGiants execs in LA, reaching agreement on a trade is not considered imminent. The #Marlins also remain engaged with other clubs regarding NL MVP

It’s not over yet.
Have a good one,
