Ah that makes sense. Also, I thought he refused to move to 3rd (even though defensively he's awful at short) or was that for next season?
Forsythe for Giles. Who says no?
Honeycutt will easily fix Giles
He says he's a shortstop and wants to play there going forward, but if the Yankees were to acquire him, he'd play third since Didi is the much better defender.
Yay, Charlie Freakin' Morton is an All-Star now. Whoo~
Eww, get out. Fuck his shitty walk up song.

His age doesn't really matter for trade purposes. It's that he plays an actual position people can't just fill with whoever and JD Martinez has had many full seasons where he wasn't good.
He thinks he has more analytic value at shortstop. I don't think he'll care once he gets 9 figures on paper.
Giles has value still
JD also didnt really heat up until he was traded to Arizona. A superb hitting shortstop with great defense would be absolutely huge if not for the fact that teams like the Yankees already have people like Didi. Machado at his position or at 3rd is very valuable to a lot of teams than a powerful hitting OFer that should probably be DHing more.
Trade value. He isn't super old and still has stuff and has been successful before. They're not going to just release him or trade him to someone else for nothing.
I mean, Machado isn't a great defender at short. He is at 3rd though. That's why it's dumb he won't shut up about shortstop: the only reason I can come up with for why he wants to play short so badly (despite being elite at third) is the positional adjustment to player value you get in analytic terms. But almost nobody actually WANTS him to play short, even if they'd let him.
Basic quality of life is also better at shortstop. Playing 3rd fucking sucks.
I mean of course they should but teams never have the foresight to notice they need a rebuild before it's too late.
boy you're gonna win 100+ games without a 2011 red sox collapse
well at least there is beer in the pantry and I have leftovers so not bad, just wish I could play games here.
How is Winkler going to walk Avila? You literally just have to put the ball in the strikezone and he is an easy out.
Avila hit one off the wall earlier today, but yeah, Winkler is broken
Time to bring in the beard.
I would be okay with a trade involving Jake Lamb. He is terrible at hitting left hand pitchers, and completely replaceable IMO. Nothing he has done this year has been spectacular or memorable.

I noticed this too. The prime example the Al central may belong to the Indians longer because the twins and royals should have sold earlier. Though I guess its understandable for small market teams, they get a taste of winning and want more.
maybe Manny would have made a difference tonight but you can't win every game coming from behind.
