I'm amazed Machado got claimed. Who, besides the Reds, wants him?????

With almost every source saying DanO's demands were way too high, I'm actually quite hopefull that he'll get a good return on any trade he's making right now. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what happens with this. I think we might just net a really good bargain from a team desparate for a big bat.Originally Posted by REDREAD
That's what I'm thinking.. Please don't do anything dumb DanO, please at least break even on this deal.. Don't deal one of the OF for a handful of magic beans.
Someone claimed Machado? Wow, looks like we were all wrong on that one. Who the heck else is interested? Off the wall theory, but maybe this has to do with a trade. Machado is going to someone who wants to send him down. Since they can't do it themselves without the risk of losing him, the Reds do it for them and then the team the Reds are trading with claims him. Does that make sense?
Why does it look like WMP is going?

Wow, this just keeps getting better and better. Maybe next we'll hear that Obie's been canned.

DanO's worst nightmare has come true. Let's hope Allen keeps the sharp objects away from him.UPDATE: Machado has been claimed, but I'm not at liberty to say by whom just yet.

The Yankees need a centerfielder...
Machado claimed by the Rockies.
Go BLUE!!!

Kearns got called up, & the only reason he would be called up is for regular playing time. Plus, Jacob Cruz is plugged in as the starting right fielder right now according to the other posters. I guess you're going to have to read between the lines on that one.
Maybe DanO will resign so he can move to the city where Machado is headed to.

I can't imagine they would bring Austin Kearns back up here to sit the bench.

This kind of makes sense. Didn't the Rocks lose their good rookie SS for the season with a neck(?) injury? I forget who is playing SS for them now, but they actually have the opportunity to see if he can hit in Coors or be a utility guy for them. Since they don't have a legit SS this year anyway, it kind of makes sense, even though it's a long shot that Machado will amount to anything. Maybe they just wanted to see what all the hype was about.

RR, when you say "all the hype", do just mean DOB's love affair?
