Imagining a Phillies-Orioles blockbuster
June 27: The Phillies are among the teams rumored to be interested in the Orioles' Manny Machado, and The Athletic's Jim Bowden suggests Philadelphia should make a big splash by swinging a trade for both Machado and All-Star closer Zach Britton.
As Bowden writes, Philadelphia is a logical landing spot for Machado and Britton as free agents this offseason, so why not acquire them now with the intention of making a 2018 postseason run and then hope both re-sign?
While the Phillies are unlikely to make top prospect Sixto Sanchez (RHP) available, Bowden thinks an offer of infielder J.P. Crawford, No. 2 prospect Adonis Medina (RHP), No. 22 prospect Cole Irvin (LHP) and No. 27 prospect Connor Seabold (RHP) could be enough to get a deal done with Baltimore.
you're welcome.
since throwing his manager/teammates under the bus - he had a horrid June going 0-4 with a 6.41 ERA.
hopefully after an atrocious June - after an impressive April/May - he can at least be a veteran leader here and get some quality starts in (although the bullpen is rather subpar to say the least) - don't know if 'el beardo' can be that vet leader.
maybe he should pull a Bryce Harper and shave his beard trying to regain some 'magic'.
