If you want a .300 hitting, 30 homer 2<sup>nd</sup> baseman with very good defense….speak now. Same with Machado, a power hitting, career .275 batting 3<sup>rd</sup> baseman with a nice glove. Eaton and Mancini coming off career years.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Looking for youth, draft picks……a real package. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I will remind you all that Ryan Zimmerman, Kevin Keirmeir and Anthony Swarzak were traded for Verlander, Aaron Bummer a #2 and a #3 in 2018. And THAT trade was considered a fair deal by the all knowing, all seeing trade committee (yes, that’s sarcasm. I still remember BJ Upton for Tommy Hunter being rejected for potentially ripping a hole into the space-time continuum). Now am I comparing Jose Altuve and Manny Machado to Ryan Zimmerman and Kevin Kiermier? No………I think Manny and Jose are better.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m perfectly happy sitting on these assets until the season starts and deal them to contenders who are just one or two pieces away from contending. Or folks who simply like Machado and/or Altuve. But there’s no need not to deal them. I don’t care if I lose 120 games again for the next couple years. That’s what MIS is for, right?</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Inquire within</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Doug/BAL</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
