The Miami Marlins aren’t close enough to trading Giancarlo Stanton that his input has been sought out — yet.
Marlins CEO Derek Jeter confirmed Wednesday that the team has looked into trading Stanton, but the team isn’t committed to dealing him yet — and there has been no contact between the player and the front office.

Jeter said he has not yet spoken to Stanton. "If there's a reason to call him, I'll call him."

More evidence that a Stanton trade isn’t close? The asking price is reportedly far above what teams are willing to pay. This may change later in the offseason, but for now, it’s growing clear that nothing is imminent and this will take some time if it happens at all.
