I would argue that they are quite poorly run. Going into the year don't you think the market for Machado would have been more (with him having a full year for a team as opposed to a couple months) valuable? The O's gave a monster contract to a K machine in Chris Davis, and never really rebuild, but instead make strange decisions and in the division they are in.... doesn't play out well. I just think if they wanted Arcia as part of a deal (rental) for Machado, i would seriously consider it. I think the short term its a HUGE boost, but also long term, we could be ridding ourselves of a guy who may be glove only. Of course you run the risk of a late bloomer, but... if Machado brings us a deep playoff run, wouldn't that have a positive long term affect as well? Marco may be as good as Arcia already, thus could open 2019 at SS... and think about this... if you deal Arcia (again, a long shot O's even want him), don't you think that would lead Turang to signing possibly seeing a clearer path to the show? Just thinking outside the box here is all.... If if's and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas....
