Hanser Alberto has more WAR this season than Machado.  

I’m sure the Padres will trade him straight up for Hahn-sair.

No way the Orioles make that deal.  Or any other team for that matter.  Padres were the highest bidder.  The made their bed and now they have to lie in it.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s a lot of hand wringing in San Diego.

How much salary do you think San Diego would need to eat in order to offload the face of their franchise for the next decade?

If they ate like half of it do you think that would get them out from under this albatross?   Do you think any team would be willing to pay say $7M a year for Machado going forward or do you suspect his career is over?

Hosmer, Will Myers and Machado have combined for 1 WAR.  A lot of money spent with little to show for it.

If they put in $100 millon dollars they could unload him.  But I think as the years go by the more they will have to pay.

Also I would call your post trolling.

If I am a Padres fan or management, I’m pretty happy that my team is at .500, something it hasn’t done since 2010.    And I’m probably thinking the team can do better now that Tatis has returned to the lineup.    I doubt I’m that worried about Manny.

Ohhhhhhh, but what if he gets only 2 hits, say, in his next 22 at-bats? What then??

Yes, isn't that a given?

Just start with the assumption that Manny is an awful human, a bad ballplayer, and a miserable waste of resources for a stupid team, and it's relatively easy to get to "worried about Manny".  If you're starting with a question and then trying to somewhat objectively find answers you're doing it all wrong.

I don’t think the Padres made a bad deal for Machado. He’s slumping hard but I don’t recall a lot of people saying, outside of his attitude, that he’d be a bad investment.

Three months ago two-thirds of us liked the deal. I’m not going to bet against Manny for being cold for not quite half a season.

atomic said, ad nauseum, that Manny was worth roughly a 4/50 deal and anyone who'd go over that was on hard-core hallucenogenic drugs.  I may be paraphrasing.

Nick at no. 6 for best RFers of the decade.    Love this quote: “Your team is always a little better if it has Markakis on it, and that’ll be as true in season 15 as it was in season one.”     

Adam Jones ranked no. 3 in CF, Manny Machado no. 5 at 3B, Matt Wieters no. 8 at C.   Davis, Schoop and Hardy all missed the cut (yes, Davis was good once).
