They probably will, but I still think we have a good chance of landing the other one.  This reminds of the Abreu market when the stars aligned and most of the big spenders had little to no interest.  Outside of the Yankees with Machado, I don’t see any serious threats.  And I’m not convinced the Yankees are prepared to offer a record setting contract for Machado just yet.

The Phillies are absolutely a threat for Machado.

Of course they are.  But other than the Phillies for both guys & the Yankees for Machado, I don’t see any other teams to be scared of.  And I don’t believe for a second the Phillies will sign both guys.

I'd take Leake if they threw in Kelenic.

.637 OPS last year now that he's 2 years removed from the stuff, 0.6 rWAR last year, $28 million currently remaining on his contract over next 2 years. So the usual question then is - what else are the Mariners throwing in as a sweetener, because he'll pass through waivers unclaimed each of the next 2 years with performances anything like that.

Can cross one potential backup C off the list.

Will be interesting to see now what happens to indians with their pitchers. Was talked about not trading anyone until one of the bigger free agent ones fall then waiting for everyone to come to them

He’s certainly left-handed, an ace not so much.

There is no way Dee Gordon would pass through waivers LOL
