Tom Verducci: Stanton is going to the Giants, even though he wants to go to the Dodgers. The idea that he will stay with a rebuilding team in which he earns about 30 percent of the payroll is not appealing to someone who has never seen the postseason. Justin Verlander wanted to be traded to the Dodgers, Yankees or Cubs, but when those teams didn't want him, he took a deal to the Astros.
