Yeah, I read that as Rosenthal taking a shot at Angelos. If Dan didn't have ownership approval I doubt he would be telling teams these guys are available.

I am starting to think that if we want we can sign Machado and build around him and Schoop.  I think Peter would go for a deal similar to Davis maybe extra year and money.  I could see a 8 year deal 190-200 million.  That most likely won't get it done but next year I've could play with a payroll around 100 million.  So we would pocket additional 60 million.  You take 40-50 million of that saving then offer Manny 8 years 240million.  Then when Jones contract comes off books  you give Schoop  a 7 year 140 million extension.  Again you are using the 20 million off next years budget.   Machado although getting 30 million it feels more like 25 because you took next years savings and Schoop is getting like 16-17 million a year with the pocketed money next season.

Well, we can hope.

The Nats gave up very little in that deal looking at that trade I don't want that type of deal for two very good bullpen people. If Dan made that trade for Brach and Britton or Brock and Givens people would be here bashing him.

Keep dreaming.   Machado isn't going to negotiate from a position of weakness.   He has one more year.   A big year puts him easily into 10/300 territory or better.

Which is why they should trade him. They'll never sign him to a deal like that.

Especially not in the midst of a complete rebuild.

Why I said that won't get it done but 8 years 240 million is same amount per year by taking next years payroll savings.

Machado will either walk for a pick or we will sign him to a 10/400M contract with 200M deferred until the year 2150.

He also knows what are not only non-starters but will get Angelos to push the Mr. Burns model, "release the hounds" button under his desk.

Oh great. They will let Manny leave and all they get back back is a comp pick?

The Nats got two good setup men from the A's.  They did not get a closer.  I don't think they are done shopping for the bullpen--their bullpen needed a total makeover.   So they should still be interested in Britton--although probably not Brach or O'Day.  

Buck needs to get Britton into the game today, even if the O's are trailing 10-0 in the late innings.  The O's can't be left without a dance partner.

Dangling Brach, Britton, and DoD.

Maybe  Castillo.

No to Givens, Manny, and AJ.

Smith. 

Interesting that Schoop plays short again today.

Why's that?

as long as he receives ownership approval, major-league sources say.

 

Haha!   A public relations move by Duquette to let everyone know that he wants to sell.    The above line says it all.   Why even float the rumor with that caveat?    

Could be a Rosenthal angle. Maybe he's asking a leading question of his source. I wouldn't put it beneath him. 

That said, the other option is more likely. DD putting it out there that it's not his fault if we implode and get nothing. He'd probably like another job after next year.

It worries me Weams that Angelos will not allow DD to sell.

Hopefully Dan has a baseball America subscription

Well, I certainly hope he can find another job. That's a top priority. I wonder if he would consider tendering his resignation.
