I want Donaldson if we can get him for pennies.

Nats losing. Phillies will likely split and be even with Atlanta after tonight.

12:51 Rumor has it the Orioles rejected a Machado trade offer centering around Alex Verdugo. That has got to be astronomically stupid of the BAL front office, right?

If this is true, the Os should be able to get a pretty substantial haul for Machado.
Rumor is Clint Frazier, Chance Adams, and Erik Swanson for Machado and Britton.
Machado will be worth $35-40 million in surplus value.
Frazier and Adams will be worth about $51 million. Swanson is a throw-in.
Seems about right. Maybe a little light.
Question is...where is he playing? Third base or SS? How many of these teams want him to actually play SS?? I’m sorry but the more I think about him wanting to play SS even though he is not good there....I begin to think he is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Btw...have I mentioned today....I hate the Yankees....cause I do...with a passion....hate the friggin Yankees.
my fantasy team needs Machado traded to the NL, dammit.

I agree. The only problem is what Machado has literally stated over and over. He can get what he wants, but it’s gonna cost him contract wise.
The Braves can use that to their advantage though. They could pitch “Sign with us and you can play SS”. That would end up having Dansby traded, but an infield of Freddie/Oz/Machado/Riley-Camargo would have some pop.
I know we have complained about the strike zone for Braves hitters this season a lot, but we have two of the worst strike calls against us this season per Fangraphs. So, its not entirely unfounded fan speak. At least two of them we have complained about were legit...LOL
