Or, as Harry Carey might have said, "Nats win! Nats win!"

Wonder if next time we see Manny Machado he'll be wearing a Red Sox uniform.

Wonder if next time we see Manny Machado he'll be wearing a Red Sox uniform. That's Rosenthal's speculation: Machado, Britton and a prospect for Devers. I seriously doubt that the Sox would do that.

The Red Sox would be absolutely stupid to do that, and I love Machado and Britton as players and they'd be perfect for this year's team. But Either Machado is a rental and you just gave away cheap long-term production from a kid who's younger than a lot of A ball players and then you don't have a viable 3b as Machado AND Devers are gone. Or you bypassed Dever's cheap long-term production so you can spend huge $ to resign Machado (who won't necessarily by much better if he is better as Devers matures) which makes signing Betts and Sale that much harder (not to mention Bogaerts as well). I think Rosenthal is throwing stuff up against the wall to see what sticks.

Red Sox players I want to see still in our uniform in 5 years - Benintendi, Betts, Bogaerts, Devers....Martinez if possible.

Gary 1:58 Saw a Rosenthal article floating a Devers for Machado trade. 5 years of Devers seems like too much for a rental, even one as good as Machado. Would you do that from Boston side? Keith Law 1:58 Absolutely not.

Rosenthal does his job very well, but his job is not to run baseball teams in an efficient and rational manner. His job is to report and write and opine on baseball, and Machado to the Red Sox would be a huge story. It would be big and exciting and flashy and would give the Ken Rosenthals of the world plenty to talk and write and debate and speculate about. It just doesn't make a lot of baseball sense.

If the prospect thrown in is a major league ready 3rd baseman for next season, I'd think about it. But if not, there's no way to replace Devers next season with the cap issues they have.

I had a similar train of thought except center fielder not 3rd baseman because our 3B pipeline is decent. Not Devers good but decent. The Orioles top prospect is an AA center fielder who profiles more like a right fielder and has maybe a solid regular ceiling. That isn't good enough to me.

They weren't even willing to include Devers in a Sale trade. This isn't a thing.
