Not quite sure how I feel. I want to see which prospects we give up. He would be a huge upgrade over Franco (.269/.317/.459, 103 wRC+) who could become a great bat off the bench. But if we give up too much (including Adonis Medina) for a rental that may or may not sign with us in the offseason, we better win the WS. And obviously anything could happen, but this team is far from a Manny Machado away from being favored for a WS win.

Offensively, Machado is gonna be better than most shortstops, ours included, but Dansby rates as a far better defender, and as much as people laugh at using the word "clutch" these days, there's not a player on the team I'd rather have at the plate with the game on the line, and that includes Freddie Freeman.

Dansby isn’t even the best ss on his own team.

MLB.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Phillies are currently the "most likely destination" for Manny Machado.

Morosi says the Phillies are willing to include pitching prospect Adonis Medina -- who is ranked by MLB.com as the No. 2 player in their system -- in a deal for Machado, which looks to have catapulted them into the lead for the infielder's services. Jon Heyman of Fancred, among others, has reported that the Orioles are close to trading their star, although Machado will be representing Baltimore during Tuesday's All-Star Game. The Dodgers and Brewers are looking like the two other clubs most hot on Machado's trail, although it appears they might have some catching up to do.






Jon Heyman of FanCred reports that the Dodgers "appear to be the leading contender" in trade talks for Orioles shortstop Manny Machado.

This comes hours after Jon Morosi of MLB.com wrote that the Phillies were currently the "most likely destination" for Machado after the club expressed a willingness to include pitching prospect Adonis Medina in a potential deal. With that in mind, Heyman writes that the situation is "fluid" and that the Phillies, Brewers, and Diamondbacks could still have an outside chance. Prospects Dustin May and Gavin Lux are among the names linked in trade talks between the Dodgers and Orioles. If acquired by Los Angeles, Machado would take over at shortstop while Chris Taylor would move back to the outfield. Machado is set to represent the Orioles in Tuesday's All-Star Game, but it sounds like he could be in a different uniform later this week.

If Manny goes from the teeny, tiny l'il bandbox AL East to the Yellowstone Parkish NL West (Colorado excluded, of course), will he experience a power outage?

Buster Olney of ESPN reports that the Orioles have the structure of a Manny Machado trade in place and are going through the "medicals/paperwork portion of the transaction."

Olney adds that the Dodgers "have been very invested" in pursuing Machado, in addition to the Phillies and other teams, but that a deal is not finished yet. Either way, all signs point to Machado beginning the second half with a new team. It’s very possible that a deal is essentially done and the Orioles would prefer to have him play Tuesday’s All-Star Game representing the team before an official announcement is made. In other words, there should be clarity very soon.

MLB tends to frown on major news toppling another big MLB story line (such as the All Star Game, HR Derby, or the World Series).

He's got a good glove and he comes through more often than not in the clutch. He'll never be an All Star, but I like him.

Ya borderline top 100 prospect and 4 meh guys.

According to Sickels, their number 7 prospect, 2 that are in 'others of note' and 2 that didnt even make the article.

Los Angeles Dodgers Top 20 prospects for 2018

If my Pirates made that trade, everyone would be writing articles citing 'anonymous sources' laughing their asses off @ us.
