Your retarted
I will never have been more pissed in my lifetime at being a frustrated White Sox if they somehow pull off a trade for Machado. We will obviously have to surrender a number of high end prospects for a rental player. This for a team that currently has the worst record in Baseball, and will likely not finish any better than in the bottom five at season's end. So why on earth would we want a rental? You only risk giving up a lot for a rental if your team is in the thick of a pennant race.
I wouldn't bother wasting time on such a senseless possibility like this if there weren't so many stories out there saying the Sox have been one of the key teams seeking Machado's services. The Cubs are often listed the other major team of interest, but at least it makes sense for them to pursue him, being they should be in the thick of the playoff hunt all season, and Machado could possibly make the difference as to the Cubs' chances of winning the whole enchilada. Plus they have the $$$ to make a serious run at locking him down long term.
I am anxiously waiting for the article to come out and say "team sources" confirm that the Sox are more likely to trade for Elvis than Machado. Stick a knife in this rumor now, or as Barney Fife would say, "Nip it in the bud, nip it nip it nip it!!
