I don't think he is. I looked tried to look it up and it just gave me a bunch of articles about the O's pulling him off the trade block.

Yeah, when you type in 5/10 and Machado it's just articles about him being trading or possible going to x city versus y city but yeah I don't think he is either

Yankees.

They stayed under the tax threshold for a reason and 3B is a huge hole for them.

I don't want a guy that cries about being tagged too hard.

Hell of a talent, but the biggest crybaby bitch in the game.

But I think the Dodgers will be the team to do it.

Seager is gone for the year, and Just Turner still isn't playing much, and wrist problems tend to linger and take a while to get the timing back.

I can't see Baltimore trading him within the division, so no to the Red Sox and Yankees. The Cubs have been talking a lot about getting him, but why when you have Russell and Bryant and Rizzo already? The dodgers just got Turner back and that kid that was playing 3rd in his absence is good enough that they don't need him either.

So I went with the Nationals, and a bonus for Machado of staying in the same general area.

Well the answer to your question is obvious

Russell goes in the deal

the 5/10 Rule whereby players who have been with a club for 5 consecutive years and have been a major league player for 10 years cannot be traded without their consent.

so no:suds:.

White sox. They have 13 million in total payroll before arbitration for the 2019 season. They need a center piece to lead their rebuild. Ya I know I'm dreaming.

honestly? You obviously don't know anything about the Yankees or baseball for that matter. Also Machado has made it clear he isn't going back to 3rd for anyone.

5/10 is what you're saying. Machado has the 5 but not the 10 therefore he cannot stop the O's from trading him which they most definitely are. Where he goes for the 2nd half is anyone's guess. Next yr I expect him to be a Cub, just my guess. Russell is irrelevant and the Cubbies are not exactly hiding their feelings about him. He will go in a heartbeat if they can get Machado

your response was pretty much what I would expect from someone who has no idea what they're talking about. Do a little research on the "HUGE" hole at 3rd base. You may want to ask Brandon Drury about it. The hole is so huge Drury's in AAA

Yes I missed a hotstreak by a hit who they were talking about needing to send back down a short while ago.

His BABIP is almost .340.

His defense is bad.

We'll see what he looks like in september.

The team that trades for him this summer

He is absolutely getting traded, and no team is giving up whats required without the intent to sign him, if they dont do so before a trade is struck

I think that team will be the Phillies, they are in big spend mode and are so starving for the one big ticket, face of the franchise player

Id list the Cubs next, but I dont think Addison Russell is anything more than a throw in to get that deal done, he is not by any means a centerpiece to that magnitude a deal

Than the Dodgers, but I have no idea if Seager is a guy they could slide to 3rd, cause im a believer that Machado has no intention of going back to 3rd

By the small chance he hits Free Agency, he will land in Boston, they sign everyone, and hitting $300 mill in payroll is nothing for the organization that has spent decades whining over Yankee spending

Maybe, but they are also sliding him to first base because they know what Tyler Austin is, and they need far better insurance for Greg Bird in case of injury/ineffectiveness

As a matter of fact, Id expect a Drury/Austin swap any day now

bye bye Birdie? :noidea::noidea:
