If you don't know where he's signing (which is true) why do you keep talking about giving him to a division foe for a decade? It's only 1 season. What happens after that has nothing to do with any trade they make (unless part of the trade is him negotiating an extension which is not going to happen).

If he is traded to NY, they're going to have a year of negotiations with him, which gives them a significant advantage over everyone else in its own.

 

The narrative will always be that The Baltimore Orioles traded Manny Machado to The New York Yankees.

That year is meaningless in these negotiations. If you think it would have any effect you don't know Scott Boras

Hardly meaningless. If he's traded to NY, unless he truly hates the city, he'll get re-signed. Not like we won't have the money.

You might sign him in FA, but it won't be because you traded for him first. You'll still have to outbid everyone else.

I think it could have some impact if he falls in love with the city, franchise, players, and especially if we won a WS. 

But at the end of the day there will be so many factors.  We would be, in my view, clear favorites to sign him either way.  And him coming here doesn't really move the needle much tbh.

Tbh nothing in the world could please me more than Cashman jedi mind tricking the Orioles into trading Manny to some rando team and then getting him flipped o NY.

If the Orioles are smart (they're not) they'll demand a stipulation in any trade that they get the team they trade Machado to's best remaining prospect if they trade Machado within six months of the original deal being made.

If the Yankees get Machado then they'll win the World Series for the next few yrs. Machado, Stanton, Judge, Sanchez and Gardner would be one of the best top 5 batting lineups in baseball history.

What would their lineup even look like? Didi is a stud too...who would lead off? Ugh please god don't let it happen lol
