https://twitter.com/Athletics/status/1311336126540472321?s=20 A's lineup slightly different. Khris Davis making an appearance today.

Starting to get a weird feeling SD defies all odds & lands Machado. Total gut feeling but seems like things are trending the right way for them right now.

Hopefully.

We don’t need your kind around here, cartoon blue platypus.

Kindly cite me where I’ve ever pretended like an insider on the board.

LOL. You know how I can tell you’ve been got? You drew a “racist” remark out of something where I didn’t make one. You’re reaching & reaching hard. Thats weak but expected. Trolls love dishing it out but can’t handle it when it gets slammed back in their face. Stop trashing board members & calling people hacks & you won’t have problems.

Your response shows you have nothing else to say. Point proven.

“I wasn’t trashing anyone.” Yet you continue to call Shack “IamHack”. Again, what have you contributed? Why do you think that you get to trash respected members of the board? You can ask me what I contribute but the point of me asking is because I haven’t seen you done anything except act like a turd for no apparent reason. Btw, people like you are why myself among others don’t post nearly as much. Trolls like you ruin the experience of what used to be an awesome board.

Just curious, what have YOU contributed to this board? All I see you is you trolling & trashing people. What have you actually contributed to this board outside of acting like this?

Always funny when people trash people like Dave/Brian & then when they break something, those same people kiss their ass. Or better yet, when they feel they need some info, they are consistently asking them for it.

Seems funny to me that you question guys like Dave & Brian but are quick to five MLB Trade Rumors out of all the “insiders”, some sort of credit.

IIRC, Machado has been pretty open about not liking the West Coast because it’s too far away from his family & friends in the DR. I don’t doubt the Padres are interested but at least for me, this doesn’t concern me. This may actually help get the price up where a deal can actually be closed sooner rather than later.

MLB Trade Rumors is saying they aren't a match. What I'm saying is that they don't really have any inside info. Rosenthal has indeed reported that they have had talks, maybe nothing is close but there's plenty to support that they are a potential match. That's the entire point, which flies in the face of what MLBTR is saying.

Trusted information from board insiders & even Ken Rosenthal says otherwise. Sox are in discussions with LAD for Joc. Have been for about a week now.

The guys at MLBTR know nothing anyways. They report rumors, that's it.
