This is a joke, right? If not the Machado trade in probably the worst thing I've seen on this site. On the Darvish contract though, I think he'll get more but I could see it happening. The Machado thing is just unbelievably bad.

Did you see the Stanton deal.

That Stanton deal was a salary dump. The Orioles aren't dumping Machado's contract. They like a 4-5 prospect package for him.

If you're referring to the return or lack there of for Stanton, that is has a completely different set of circumstances. Orioles have leverage unlike the Marlins. The Orioles are competent unlike the Marlins. Machado doesn't have an albatross contract or a no trade clause forcing the Orioles to take a lesser deal. It was publicly know that both sides didn't want anything to do with each other anymore so that along with a few hundred million dollars kept and Stanton himself knocking out the competition. They aren't comparable in the slightest.

The Stanton trade was a salary dump, you cannot compare it to this. Machado will bring more.
