peppers312 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/mlb/6242/manny-machado Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Orioles want "two young, controllable starting pitchers" back in a trade for Manny Machado. The Orioles don't expect to re-sign Machado, so they appear willing to seriously consider offers from interested teams. No word on which team might have the advantage in trade talks, but the Cardinals have been mentioned as a possibility. One interesting side note from Rosenthal is that Machado wants to move to shortstop for his final year before free agency. Dec 12 - 12:35 PM interesting.

Kyyle23 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Carson Fulmer and Spencer Adams *wipes hands back and forth* done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Lopez and Giolito is their ask, eh? It would be interesting to be able to say that we turned Eaton into Machado, and Dunning. Given his contract, I don't think they will be able to get a deal done for that ask. The Sox especially will need to keep every SP prospect they have to maximize their chances of having a winning rotation when the window is open.

Bob Sacamano Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I wonder if teams will try to get an agreement with the O's and MLB for a couple day window to talk extension and agree upon a deal based on said extension. It's happened before. I'm sure the O's would love that as that would drive up the price. Edited December 12, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I don't know why anyone would give up anything of value honestly. He's not going to re-sign anywhere. He'd be a fool not to reach free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that I didn't know if anyone would meet the asking price. For example: St. Louis could trade Sandy Alcantara and Jack Flaherty for 1 year of Machado and then recoup a 1st round pick for him. Most contenders can't do that.

harfman77 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The Cubs could be a player here, they are allegedly already in talks on moving a SS to San Diego and if they move Schwarber, they could conceivably end up with the players that the O's are looking for plus some extra pieces to replenish their farm. Machado at SS and Baez to 2B would give them a really good shot at getting another ring before their window starts to close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be lots of moving parts for not a significant increase in talent while adding huge to their payroll to extend Machado. They are way more likely to go after Harper next offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I mean, it's not happening for the Sox this offseason, nor do I want them to. The biggest upside to a team trading for him now is getting ONE year out of him and using that opportunity to impress him so much that he either signs an extension or would give some kind of preference in free agency to them... I'd guess there's a 98% chance he tests the market, so I say let's just reproach next year. The interesting comment as noted in the first post is that he wants to play SS. If that's the case I'd like to see some experimenting either spring training or late in the season when we are out of it to test Anderson in CF or 3B. Still a very small chance we get him, but in the case we do I'd like to see how Anderson plays the diamond elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson to 2nd makes sense and then you can move Moncada back to third where he seemed like a better defender.. This is all of the hypothetical that we actually signed Machado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Even if we were able to reach an extension agreement with him as a condition of a trade - I would still want nothing to do with such a swap. Give me Lopez and Gio all day over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think the Sox would pull the trigger on what it would take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Harold Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN The Yankees are one of the teams that has expressed interest in Manny Machado. There would be major questions about whether the two division rivals would actually conclude a deal, but Orioles are listening, Yankees have a loaded farm system. White Sox also interested.

ChiSoxJon Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 06:20 PM) The Sox should be interested, if he wants to sign a seven year deal upon arrival to Chicago.

Edit: Added link Maybe this is why we haven't been doing anything. We are waiting to see what Machado is going to cost. If we can put together an offer the Orioles like and they let us talk extension before the trade maybe we don't get rid of Abreu and Garcia because 2019 really becomes the start of the window. If its obvious we can't then we move on and seek out trades to sell off some guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
