Even if it ends up being true, don't start a thread until an agreement is reached. My source is Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naptownskinsfan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 That is a lot of money for what a lot of the talking heads are calling a #3 starter. A few say he could be a #2, but there are a couple others saying maybe #4. Pretty weird move for the Mariners to make in any case, considering their firesale so far this offseason.

pwny Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 That shakes up the Machado sweepstakes a bit. Not that a league minimum deal keeps the Yankees out of contention for him, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely will come down to how badly Machado wants to be a Yankee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still rather the NYY get that guy from San Diego - if he hasnt already signed/moved on to somebody else (not keeping real close tabs on MLB matters....) cause he's got broader positional value and more long range appeal.

GmenSeattle Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 There's no reason for the Yankees position on Machado to be changed at all...other than perhaps as a safety net if they don't get Machado. Also if he has anything left in the tank he can be flipped at the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Quote The Orioles have hired Koby Perez as the team’s new Senior Director of international scouting, as per a team press release. The 40-year-old Perez spent the last three seasons as the Indians’ director of Latin American scouting, his most recent stop in a career that has spanned 12 seasons and included roles as a crosschecker and scout with Cleveland, Philadelphia, and St. Louis (Perez and Orioles GM Mike Elias both worked as scouts in the Cardinals’ organization for two years). Under his new title, as per the press release, “Perez will oversee all aspects of the Orioles’ international scouting operations and management of the club’s bonus pool.” The Orioles have been notoriously indifferent to the international market for years, though this focus began to change even prior to Elias’ hiring, as Baltimore made a strong attempt to sign both the Mesa brothers and Sandy Gaston this fall. Going forward, it certainly seems as if the O’s will now be as aggressive and thorough in locating and signing international prospects as any club in the sport. -MLBTR Anyone from those organizations familiar with the work Perez has done?
