A playoff spot is almost a certainty and we have had zero issues beating up on Seattle, Boston and Houston thus far this season. Machado would be nice though depending on what it takes to acquire him, assuming it happens.

I could see us trading Hicks who will be a FA after next season while he is having a career year. <br />Walker needs to be DFA'd or traded with Shreve for a LH reliever.<br />If we could add Britton or get Kahnle back to where he was last year and get Gray to pick it up like the ace he was in Oakland then we could stand pat.<br />I don't think spending 25 to 30 million a year on a 3B is not needed next year either.Rev.LGMofieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13589532455100509984noreply@blogger.com
