Hated hated hated moving Vlad and Bo and Bradley but for machado and Hosmer I think given thier young age and "PROVEN" track record I'm breaking even if not better here. I'm trying to win now and I think this gives me option to win now and in future still.

I had Harper and Manny expiring next year and would only be able to franchise one of them, so Manny ended up being more valuable to others than to me long-term. However, I wasn’t going to deal him without a prospect haul, and I certainly get that here. Hosmer was a throw in I was willing to make as I’m guessing the market values him more than me at this point, and so I may not have matched on a restricted offer anyway. Great talks with Clay. This game together pretty quickly.
