mission27 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 As much as I get the Orioles not wanting to trade Machado in division - and I know they'd get a ton of flack from their fans and the media - they're shooting themselves in the foot if they take a meaningfully lower return than whatever NYY/BOS offer to trade him to a team like the Cardinals, he walks in 10 months, and ends up playing for one of those two teams anyway.

kyle21121 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Why would the White Sox give up a bunch of their recently acquired top prospects for Machado who would likely leave anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd obviously be banking on Machado signing an extension right away. Their payroll is almost nothing right now and they can afford to pay market value.

mission27 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 The Phillies and White Sox would definitely need Machado to sign an extension as part of the trade. It makes no sense otherwise. And I have a very hard time believing he would do that, unless they were willing to blow him away with dollars. So that leaves the Cards, Giants, and Yankees. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they need that good faith sure I'll sign but he's signing up for a team that isn't gonna be very good for at least 3 years. I don't know why he's doing that.

I don't know why he's doing that. Yeah very unlikely. He's less than a year from free agency and picking his destination and maybe teaming up with Bryce or someone to form a super team, definitely going somewhere he can win. I don't see why he'd sign a long term deal with a team that is several years away from contending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a star player it's not all gonna be about money for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollino14 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 There's no way he's getting traded within the division. We're talking about a decade plus of seeing him 10 plus times a year. Way too risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
