Saturday, I wrote about how the Cardinals acquiring Manny Machado could be difficult despite the apparent good fit between St. Louis and Baltimore. Today, in a flurry of only-writing-about-one-thing blogging reminiscent of Stantonmania (with, let’s hope, either a better or at least less enraging outcome), I’m writing about Machado again. Last time I wrote to address the difficulty of getting him in the first place. This time, I’m writing to address the difficulties that would arise afterwards if they did.
The thing about a team like the Cardinals acquiring a guy like Machado midseason is that he’s going to push guys aside.
