    I know you are not serious, but to clarify for anyone who might not know, Nightengale is a joke.

    I'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch, but if they do get Machado, how do we stay under $197M?

    Also, the Dodgers need some kind of pitching help to possibly make a run this season. Where do we get that again without busting through the luxury tax reset limit?

    Are there vets we are going to have to get rid of?

    Haven't heard much about Ryu lately and w Urias coming around it could be him
    not like they'll get much but someone is going to want him
    also don't think we'll be done if we can get this deal done

    Yeah there's enough overall smoke now. It's not just Nightenfail reporting

    key word in camello's tweet... "tentative"
    cautiously optimistic, but not holding my breath

    Exactly. This one won't go on Nightenfail, it'll go on old man Angelos

    Machado says he will not need to play SS once he is traded.
    It is up to the new team where he will play. That is a real nice sign.

    Probably been mentioned a million times how Machado could ultimately man SS into the future for LAD, but him coming over, maybe he could keep his bro Puig's head in the game and prolong Puig's run with LAD as well? Racist. Seriously though, Machado is the type that'll slap Puig in the back of the head and shave his head if he shows up to the World Series with some ridiculous blue dye in his hair

    And we know in the next 24-36 hours he will go back and forth 10 times on whether he wants to make the deal.

    One thing I'll say on LAD's behalf here is that they have a multitude of intriguing specs depth wise, so if the nerds can just hang in there, Lol, maybe..just maybe they'll be able to rope-a-dope old fool Angelos

    Obvious he will play where whoever trades for him wants him to play but will he sign with someone in the offseason who isn't offering to play him at SS?

    I hope this deal also includes an extension. I hate giving up top specs for rentals.

    MM is gonna want a bidding war. He is going to test FA. Another reason for the Dodgers and other teams for that matter trying to reset their tax status.
