Huge blow for #Orioles as closer Zach Britton suffers ruptured Achilles' tendon in workout, per @Ken_Rosenthal, and expected to likely miss first half of season... maybe forces their hand in dealing Machado or maybe not

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 19, 2017 -> 04:58 PM) Why wouldn't the cubs make that move? Cubs won't but if the O's are asking for that kind of return they will not be trading him

James Fox‏ @JamesFox917 5m5 minutes ago More So @MLBBruceLevine says #Orioles asked the #Cubs for Javier Baez in exchange for Machado. I think he stays in Baltimore. They missed the boat on dealing him if they are asking for guys like that in return.

James Fegan‏ @JRFegan 38s39 seconds ago More Hahn said Sox had two Rule 5 targets. One got taken before their slot, second one needed surgery

Makes no sense to even draft the guy..has to be more to this

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:33 AM) All sports drafts should move this quick. Love the Rule 5 pace. If this was the NFL we'd still be on pick 8 or 9 in the 1st round for sure..

Just got home from work.. now how the hell am I suppose to sleep with this craziness going on??

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 06:13 AM) Thats tough but at this point, probably Rodon. Maybe Rodon and Anderson

Scott Merkin‏Verified account @scottmerkin 4m4 minutes ago More Manny Machado is an elite/high end talent who certainly can change a franchise. With that said, it's difficult to envision how the White Sox include Kopech or Giolito in any sort of potential trade and alter their strongly constructed rebuild course for one year of Machado.

Giolito Id be ok with but not Kopech... I'd hate that.
