Cincinnati Receives: 2B Taylor Lindsey (LAA) (Unprotected) $0.3 SS Jose Rondon (LAA) (Unprotected) $0.3 LHP Robbie Ray (DET) (Unprotected) $0.3 LHP Rob Kaminsky (St. Louis) $0.3 Detroit Receives: 3B Manny Machado (3rd) $1.0 Cincinnati: +$0.2 Detroit: +$0.7 (Double check my math) Analysis: What started off as a joke, ended up in this trade. I really did not want to trade Machado, and think this slump he is currently in is short term due to his long layoff on the DL. However I don't think I could turn down all these fringe top prospects. Rondon is playing better since he finally got rid of all his baby teeth. Really love Kaminsky and Ray. Taylor Lindsey is a prospect in the terrible Angels farm so I have no idea what he is worth in US Dollars. I'm sure I will regret this by next season. Thanks for all the hard work Detroit!!!

Wow, this trade took something like 90 messages to finally settle on, but I like where it ended up. Trading away some prospects that are either way down the road(Rondon, Kaminsky), and a couple others who are quite a bit closer(Lindsey, Ray), is tough as I've been trying to avoid selling the farm. But for a player with as high a ceiling as Machado, and plenty of control, I think it could be a real winner if Machado can get healthy, productive, and smarten up.
Thanks for the talks Orioles, this was a real journey.
