Really? Reading this message board over the last year + seems be more positive than negative on our chances overall.
The general consensus here has been Machado is our 3B next year.
Worth mentioning Didi isn't controlled very long and they could look to deal him for prospects after signing Machado to play SS, the position he wants to play. Or they deal one of the younger to bring in pitching. Not that crazy of ideas.
I understand 100% why guys switch hit. I do. But what if he stopped it and realized he could hit better against lefties from the left side? It's not that crazy as there are guys who hit decent and sometimes better against the the same split.
