Machado: Update - Manny, do you officially like us?
Lol...no idea how I didn’t catch that.

Sure, if he’s not pretending to be an actual baseball journalist.

That says he already bought a house....lol. I mean, he’s got a good four months before he even plays a game in NYC, the obvious thing to do would be rushing to buy a giant mansion between Christmas & New Years and before signing a contract.

That is fantastic. Who is this Kim chick and what is her relationship to Dan Clark?

What a fucking douche. I can’t wait until he’s proven wrong and is forced to start following whatever sports they play in Australia.

Too rich for my blood.

No doubt, but if we’re looking to diversify our prospects a bit, trading one of secondary OF prospects for someone like India could make a lot of sense.

Senzel/Suarez
Moncada was basically a league average hitter in the majors as a 23 year old. He has all tools / skills to be an elite hitter with more time & development. To think that Blake Rutherford might be a better hitter than him at this point in time is quite frankly ridiculous. Second, Blake has significantly less speed and a below average arm for RF. With his speed & 70 grade arm Yoan could potentially provide Adam Eaton like defense in RF. Again, it would take some time, but his upside as OF is way above Blake’s and it’s not even close.

Senzel/Suarez
So learning a new position will prevent him from developing as a hitter? Is that what you’re saying, because I got bad news for you, it’s very likely going to happen if we don’t land Machado.
-
Senzel/Suarez
Or they could just move Moncada back to 2B if they land Arenado and Madrigal shows he’s not ready yet. There’s a ton of value in having flexible players.
-
Senzel/Suarez
I don’t either, but if Madrigal forces the issue it’s either 3B or OF for Moncada. I’d put in the OF and hope we can sign a legit 3B, but Hahn been telegraphing a Yoan to 3B move all off-season.

Hasn’t he been a slightly below average defensive corner OF prior to last season? And the odds him playing out his contract are pretty small, so I doubt he’d ever play 1B for them.
-
Senzel/Suarez
I don’t like the idea of trading starting pitching prospects for India. If they’re willing to take an OF prospect, then by all means explore it. But the reality is Moncada will likely be moved to 3B (this off-season if I had to guess) if we don’t land Machado. It would be great to have an insurance policy if Madrigal doesn’t work out, but pitching depth is much bigger concern for me right now.

Oh I totally agree, just wasn’t sure if you thought there was actually something behind that.

That doesn’t include the ~20% posting fee though right?

Not really, but I bet you’d be excited.

Machado: Update - Manny, do you officially like us?
I said this sometime in the last week, but maybe he wasn’t a huge fan of the comments Hal Steinbrenner made about him. That’s probaly a reach, but at the very least I could see it affecting his desirability for the Yankees.
-
Machado: Update - Manny, do you officially like us?
I don’t know, at this point I’m not sure what to believe. Who did he follow other than YES tonight though?
-

Lol...it sounds like a threat the way it’s written.

It could have been his wife, she does share the account with him.

Less than 20 hours would be new information, unless the January 2nd deadline was based on Tokyo time.

Yeah, let me go call Scott and see if he can provide me some examples.
