Again not saying that he hasn't acted like an ass but the same thing was said about Harper not too long back and he has been fine since. It is not a foregone conclusion with anyone. Only time will tell.

he was 26 (hardly a youngster), in the middle of a World Series run, and all he had to do is refrain from acting like a nitwit for 3 months and he failed.

when he knew teams would have a ton of money to spend on free agents

Machado's date of birth?  July 6th

He's literally a Cancer.

The Angels are evidently a team to watch on Giants southpaws Will Smith and Tony Watson, as Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports that the teams “have been in constant contact this winter” regarding both pitchers (subscription link). It’s not surprising to see the Halos chasing lefties, as their current staff is quite thin in that area. Whether or not the club will offer up enough to entice the Giants remains to be seen. The San Francisco org is surely willing to deal either or both of these veteran relievers, each of whom is coming off of a strong season with an appealing contract situation, but there figures to be ample interest from other teams as well. With many of the best free agent relievers already off the board, now may be the time for new Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi to market his southpaws in earnest.

A little disingenius for the article to say the staff is quite thin in lefties (Heaney and Skaggs, plus Suarez and Sandoval in waiting).

Should have said the bullpen was real thin in lefties.

I’m not buying it.

It's a mystery to me why teams are willing to spend so much money and invest so much of the franchise's future on Machado.

It would be like marrying a smoking hot babe who is also a psycho bitch.

They make me smirk.  It’s a breathe of air after reading another thread about uniforms and how we aren’t committed to winning and experts.

I interpret that as Mike getting impatient with Harper so they can announce his extension with the Halos.

some dude on facebook posted the Judge Smails picks in reference to it taking forever for Harper to sign and Trout liked it.  

[Make Angels Great Again]

It means Trout is poking fun at Harper. Pretty sure they know each other.

Don't read into it.
