Having Stanton in place when they arrive at the major-league level would help ease the pressure to produce right away, which has been the undoing of many young hopefuls. The idea has been floated before: Giancarlo Stanton playing in a Blue Jays uniform next season. But that contract …Stanton has 10 seasons and $295 million remaining on the 13-year, $325-million deal he signed with Miami in 2014. Still, when it comes to slashing payroll it’s hard not to consider moving the biggest contract on the books. If the Jays manage to keep him at that rate on a long-term deal, it’s hard to imagine Stanton’s contract on top of that.
