But if that's the case, they wouldn't trade him anyway.
It is being rumored the Cubs are in on Machado. They are willing to allow him to play SS. The economics of baseball are so ridiculous. If things keep going in this direction MLB might as well just contract to about 16 teams and be done with it.
Deal with Yanks getting close?

As soon as I heard the White Sox were in on Machado, that raised a red flag to me. Why? Why would they trade a considerable amount of prospects that they acquired in deals involving Sale and more, for a guy that would more than likely bolt after 2018 in free agency. The White Sox aren't contenders, even with Machado in the lineup. It was obvious they were flipping him somewhere else.

Teams can ask for permission to talk extension with that player before a trade is made. Both teams and the league office have to agree.

Yanks resign Sabathia. This should put an end to Cole to Yanks. Thanks Neal.

Jon Heyman reported 43 minutes ago that the Pirates wanted Greyber Torres in the Cole deal but the Yanks won't give that much up. Yanks want to go Frazier plus for Cole. Not sure if the Sabathia deal is insurance or mutually exclusive.

Heyman tweeted that NH asked for Torres from Cashman. LOL.

The deal was Cole for Torres, not Torres and others. One for one according to the tweet. Heyman said they are still negotiating.
Torres was traded for two months of Chapman before.

It doesn't mean the Yanks have to trade him for two years of a #4 starter. He is right now their starting third baseman. Very stupid of Neal to dismiss other options, like Andujar who certainly can helpp the 3B void in this organization in due time.
Nothing will get done unless NH gets off his high horse and goes after something else. There are other options. Very short sided of him. Hell, I would ask for Montgomery and something else. He would be better than our #3, #4, #5 and would challenge Taillon.
