Idiots spend $$$. Plus, the "haul" would almost certainly be less than what Machado got, which wasn't knocking anyone's socks off. Plus--and this is the most important point--they are currently only 5.5 games out (6.5 out at the trade deadline) of first behind two young teams who are more likely to fade down the stretch. Remember the White Flag Trade from 21 years ago? Trading Harper would leave a similar legacy. Lots of bad PR juju.
All in all, if I had to pick a team today to win the East, I'd truly go with the Nationals.
