It may simply mean they can't offer Ohtani any more than the Cubs can?  Just in case an extra million was going to impact his decision...

They are using next years money, $2.2 million.

Thanks.  So, Ohtani needs to be this-year's money?

Full offer from Giants for Stanton:

Craig Mish @CraigMish
SourceS : Full trade offer from SF to Miami for Giancarlo Stanton.

Tyler Beede
Heliot Ramos (1st noted by @JoeFrisaro )
Chris Shaw
Christian Arroyo

Mish has done a couple Twitter Q&As about the Stanton deal in the last few days.  On Sunday, he said that sources told him the deal was 2-3 days away...so if he's right, it could happen any time today or tomorrow. 

Also, he said he expects the Marlins to trade Ozuna or Yelich (but probably not both) after the Stanton deal is done.  I'll say it again--I really hope the Cubs get involved if Yelich is available.

And if that is the case wouldn't that be a lack of the all important "respect" for Ohtani?  I'm just looking for reasons to boot teams from the final 7.

Not bad for a guy who was never rated as a Top 100 prospect by Baseball America or anyone else.

That's a guy I wish was a Cub.  Fantastic baseball player.

It is pretty cool a guy the size of a hood ornament can be such a superstar at baseball.

3 years, $28 million for Minor.  That's a lot, but not shockingly so.

That seems pretty club-reasonable.  He's got a shot to be very good.

Minor also gets a 10 team no trade clause, and the plan is for him to start.
