The Marlins demands for Stanton would be so high as to make the Phillies the Yankees essentially. Trade away 4-5 of your better prospects and hold onto aging guys like Rollins, Utley, Halladay, Howard and soon enough Ruiz will be in the same category. If I were the Phillies I would try to sell the veteran parts off and do a rebuilding with young guys from other organizations. The NL West and Central logjams are probably making some of these teams desperate enough to make a big trade acquisition splash and the Phillies are the perfect partner for that, in my opinion.
