[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1395495, member: 588522"] The absolute only way I see the Cubs trading for Machado is if it's guaranteed he signs a long term deal with us (however that may be hashed out). I would assume we probably lose two big league guys and a mid level prospect, but Machado is a perennial MVP type player, especially at SS. I would hope if we are trading Russell/Happ/Schwarb/Baez (last two seem highly unlikely) that we get control of Machado for multiple years. Giving up a controllable big league starter for a years service is something desperate teams at the end of championship windows do, and the Cubs are not that. [/QUOTE]
