Marlins general manager Dan Jennings told SiriusXM's Jim Bowden in an interview Sunday that Giancarlo Stanton is "not available" for trade this offseason.
"He will be in right field at Marlins Park on Opening Day," Jennings added. "We are building around him." Stanton's name has been involved in plenty of trade rumors over the last year, but the Marlins dealing him has always seemed unlikely. The young slugger will turn just 24 later this week and will be arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter.

According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Marlins have reassigned hitting coach John Pierson to the minors.
Miami scored an major-league low 513 runs this season under the watch of Tino Martinez and then Pierson, who was carrying the interim tag. The next man hired will be the club's sixth hitting coach since 2010.

Giancarlo Stanton scored the winning run in Sunday's 1-0 victory over the Tigers.
Stanton singled off Luke Putkonen in the ninth -- the slugger's only hit in four at-bats this afternoon -- and later stood on third with two outs and the bases loaded. Putkonen's pitch to Greg Dobbs got away, allowing the hulking slugger to hustle home and cement Henderson Alvarez's no-hitter. Stanton had a solid season when healthy -- slashing .249/.365/.480 with 24 homers and 62 RBI in 423 at-bats -- but the image of him crossing home plate and joining a school of Marlins to surround Alvarez will undoubtedly be viewed as the highlight of his Age-23 season on the 100-loss Marlins.

Giancarlo Stanton's three-run double in the third inning on Friday powered the Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the Tigers.
The run-scoring drive off Rick Porcello in the third inning was his only hit in four at-bats on the night, but provided enough offense to eek out a victory. He's been a bit of a disappointment during his injury-plagued season, hitting .249/.366/.484 with 24 homers and 61 RBI in 114 games.

Giancarlo Stanton (foot, ankle) returned to the Marlins' starting lineup again on Tuesday.
Stanton rolled his ankle earlier this month and was forced to leave Saturday's game after re-aggravating the injury. The Marlins won't hesitate to sit Stanton if he starts feeling pain again, but his return to the lineup is obviously great news for fantasy owners.

Giancarlo Stanton (foot/ankle) is not in the Marlins' lineup Sunday.
Stanton suffered an injury to his right foot/ankle last Sunday and then aggravated it Saturday. X-rays have come back clean, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Marlins decide to rest him for multiple days just to be safe.
