Marlins president David Samson told Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post on Sunday that the club has had internal discussions this year about a possible long-term contract for Giancarlo Stanton. "I don't think it it has been anything concrete," said Samson. Stanton could qualify for arbitration this winter as a Super Two player, but he'll remain under team control through 2016. Getting the 22-year-old under contract for the long haul would send a positive message to Marlins fans in what has been a tumultuous and disappointing year.
