I'm fine if we part ways with him. Loose cannon.

He has a ton of potential and is still young. A nice buy low opportunity for a club that's rebuilding (Reds, Brewers, etc)

It was pretty telling when the catcher was taking his sweet time getting to Machado.

I wouldn't mind if the Orioles traded Ubaldo for him.

Machado even took 3 or 4 limp leg steps too.

Lol I saw that his fastball was hovering between 96-98 all night and the one pitch that hit 99 mph was the one that hit Machado.

I'd take him in Arlington if we didn't have to give away much.

Are there any others in MLB named Ventura, besides the manager? I just want the PBP heard as "Ventura throws it to Ventura, back to Ventura".

I noticed that, as well. Catcher could have tackled him and prevented the whole thing. Just let it happen.

If he wasn't such a shithead I would actually be okay with the Astros dealing for him depending on the price obviously If someone can get him to stop fricking off and fix his command/mechanics he could be really good (again)

Sucks? I would love for the Cubs to get him cheaply. He's 25 and having his only bad season, which is due to sudden control issues.

Milwaukee should take him. He's the kind of character you just want on your team.

Send him to the Braves for Markakis. Helps both teams in the long run.

He may be a headcase and having a bad year but his ceiling is still pretty high.
