The Marlins plan to offer outfielder Giancarlo Stanton the most lucrative contract in franchise history this offseason, USA Today reports.
"He's the leader of this franchise,'' team president David Samson said. "We always knew the talent he had, but what he's done this year, playing every day, he's the definition of a game-changer. We call him a no-food player. A no-bathroom player. When he comes to the plate, nobody leaves their seat. There's no question he's the MVP of this league.''
Stanton leads the National League with 37 home runs and 105 RBI. He said he's interested to hear the Marlins' plans this winter.
