[Rick2583]

could feature the greatest free agent group ever,

Matt Harvey
Bryce Harper
Garrett Richards
Delin Betances
Trevor Rosenthal
Josh Donaldson
Manny Machado
Andrew McCutchen
Craig Kimbral
Michael Brantley
Adam Jones

And if they opt out.....Clayton Kershaw & David Price.

Machado, Machado, Machado.....the Bums will probably offer CK another 10 year deal, at 500 Million, and at the rate the Bums are going, they'll ensure he's still playing at age 50....

Rob, Machado is only going to be around 26 years old when he becomes a FA. Now there's someone I'd lock up for 8-10 years to man the hot corner. And the timing would be perfect because I believe that's also when Headley's contract is up.

Of all the great names on this FA list, yeah, I wan't to see Machado at Thunder Alley, I'm sick of sub-par hot corner specialists....I'd have no prob locking him up either....Not just a gold glover as everyone knows, but a Platinum glover; who can handle the bat quit well....

One thing impressive about Machado, is his bounce back last year from injury, playing in all 162 games, now that is impressive .....!

then again, every FA noted in OP, are going to be asking a shit load of cash, unless they crash and burn b/t now and then, with injuries...!
