What would you do?
$28 Bauer for $56 Machado and $3 D Moore?
I have 2b/MI of Joey Wendle, Luis Urias and Miguel Rojas.
My rotation consists of Bauer, Berrios, Flaherty, Lynn, Means, Boyd, Eovaldi, Walker Hendricks, Corbin.
Sitting in first with a 200 pt lead.

Take the trade. Machado upgrades your roster more than Bauer’s exit will hurt you. Ask him to kick in some cash too.

Bauer and Machado for me are pretty much a push in terms of production $ value, so that’s not a trade I would make. Much more likely Bauer is the keepable asset, and you’re not really improving enough to make that swap worthwhile IMO.

I enjoy all your work and especially the podcast. Thanks for the reply. Never expected to get your thoughts on the deal.
I accepted so we will see how it works out.
