    Machado was just on the MLB Network red carpet show, and he emphasized that he would probably be playing SS. Which provides no clarity between the 3 NL teams.

    under the radar and, perhaps, related...

    Jon Heyman‏ ✓@JonHeyman 3 hours ago
    Whatever happens with manny (and dodgers lead), phillies are expected
    to pick up talks regarding Zach Britton. Big market there: cubs, yankees,
    red sox, maybe astros, indians, dodgers, others.

    and...
    • Britton has shown some eyebrow-raising signs of late, including increasing
    fastball velocity
    and a swinging-strike rate that is up to 14.5% for the year.

    The NL is there for the taking this year. This would be huge.

    No reason we can't get back to the WS and suffer heartbreak again if we add Machado.

    Britton might be this years Verlander who turns his season around right after being traded and goes back to being dominant.
    AKA tired of losing makes you a loser.

    Also remember that due to injuries some of the players wont hit their pay increases so there is money being saved there as well.

    Heavy heavy rains in DC happening right now. Could delay the game or postpone it to tomorrow.

    On Baseball Tonight they said 20% of rain from now on and Manfred said it'll be on time or close to it. Checked my phone weather for that area and it's party cloudy.

    It’s supposed to clear up by game time.

    And Angelos may still change his mind.

    Drysdale is untouchable.

    Give 'em Eddie Roebuck.

    @Ken_Rosenthal

    #Dodgers[​IMG] increasingly likely to land Machado, sources tell The Athletic. Barring last-minute snag, several of interested teams expect that outcome.

    Because Wilson was such a HOF douche, it was worse than Marichal in a Dodger uni.

    This is about as close to confirmation without actually confirming it

    Add Darren Dreifort and Carlos Perez. How could they resist?
