Yes. And part of me wants this to happen.
Which part?</blockquote>This part.

He's had 3 really good seasons and 3.5 meh ones. He lacks plate discipline. Machado's value takes a big hit if he ends up a full-time SS, and his body type doesn't suggest that he can remain a middle IF long-term anyway. I'm not even going to get into the on-field antics. Doesn't seem like a solid investment and especially not the type of person you want to build a young team around.
