Machado vs Moncada
2021 stats:
Machado: 28/103, .279/.348/.492 (151 games), BB%: 9.8, K%: 16.0

Contract: 224mil (7y remain) vs 81.4mil (4y remain)
If you can get SD to eat at least some of that contract, I would definitely trade them in a swap of some sort. Straight up, I don't think so. But if they eat 60+ mil? ?
Machado / TA / Semien / Abreu ohhhh lawdy
