ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the Rangers are "doing early reconnaissance and prep work on what it would take to land Giancarlo Stanton down the road." Well, it would no doubt start with Jurickson Profar. The Marlins haven't given any indication that they're ready to deal their star, but Stanton will start to become expensive over the winter when he hits arbitration for the first time, so it can't be ruled out. Trading Stanton would likely result in the Marlins losing whatever is left of their fanbase, but it's not as if owner Jeffrey Loria cares about that.
