 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?

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.

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

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??

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).

    • We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?  
    • When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.
    • Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs. 
    • I had thought Hell’s Bells was about trying to avoid your wife and family to watch O’s games. 
    • Westburg’s lack of lateral quickness has been pointed out there.  Then again, everyone will look less quick when compared to Mateo. I think Mayo’s more of a 3B/1B with us. Position versatility. That’s not a knock on him at 3B, but that we like players in different positions to match up. Mayo is no different. 
    • Irvin’s next start is scheduled for @ Oakland. As of right now, we’d be scheduled to have the back half of the rotation for the Yankees series right before the break. I could see us tinkering with the rotation so that we have Burnes and Grayson at least going vs the Yankees.  I could see us going with a 6 man rotation after the ASG. Especially if we were to make a trade for Scherzer. 
    • Thank you for your advocacy for Jackson on CF position.  My reasons almost same as yours .  Having said that , Jackson should also work on 2B .  There’s too many players and limited positions , ABs have to be rationed as well.  The upcoming deadline will likely reveal who’s staying and who’s leaving.  In the meantime , they should let Jackson heal any injuries and refine his positional skills
