Manny Machado expected to have surgery on knee within a week.

Might be more willing if he had a long term contract.

I am personally glad he doesn't.

I just hope Manny does not regret not waiting and rehabbing to get back for the playoffs. Even if he is not 100%.

Cal Ripken Jr helped his team win the World Series in this 2nd full season in the majors. In his 20 full season career he never got back to another World Series. We all hope Manny has many more chances but Cal probably thought he would have more chances. They never happened.

Did anyone else listen to the pregame coverage on 1090? Buck was pretty heated talking about the news being leaked. He also said he suspected he knew who "couldn't keep their mouth shut" but they'd move on. I assume he is talking about the doctor since the same thing happened with him before?

I really dislike Manny's physician. He is all about being his own star.

As long as he has the Ctrl X and Ctrl V down I don't care.

Well, I guess it worked last time.

I just don't care for the folks he associates with. For some reason.

Not really. I just was hoping he would give it a try. Since the alternative is the exact same procedure as last year.

Manny injured himself on Sept , 23 last year. August 11 this year. If he gets the surgery now he can be ready opening day, if he waits he still might not be able to play, and he won't be ready OD. Or if he can play he is still risking a complete rupture f the ligament and possible career threatening injury. Why risk it. He gave it 12 days and it didn't improve. Wise decision on his part IMO.

Orioles are mad that Manny info leaked they feel it hurts them trying to trade for someone.

I disagree. Not wise to me.

So did the Orioles know the whole time Manny was done for the year so they could try to find a 3B and not make it seems like a panic move??

Sounds like we all got duped by the FO.

I doubt it. I'm sure they underplayed the potential severity of the injury, and that's the right thing to do. But, I also suspect they were hoping Manny could return before the playoffs.

I do think that if an upgrade was feasible it would have been done before the news of surgery was leaked.

Hard to say. They might have been close to a deal when the news leaked, and that leak might have raised the asking price. I still suspect any upgrade will be for a backup, not a starter.

Manny is not done for the year. Neal ElAttrache, M.D decided he is for us.
