With the Dodgers trading for Machado, does that make local boy Corey Seager expendable ???
No. Manny is a free agent gone after the season. Seaver should be back in 2019
Nooooo, Machado is a rental, so he is a FA at the seasons end.
Then they gave up way too much for a rental !
This trade will have some affect on our pro guys like TJ Nichting and Zach Jarrett. Their farm system just added another Top OF prospect Yusneil Diaz and he jumps in above both of our guys. Their farm system was already crowded with Outfielders. Diaz will be in AA or Triple A before the season ends. Not a huge impact but just bumped everyone a notch down.
clt says the cubs need to add pitching.
