He knows he's most likely not going to be playing for Baltimore next year. They're losing Wieters and Trumbo and they don't have any money left nor do they have any talent in the minors that's near MLB ready other Sisco. So Baltimore either tries to compete again with a worse team than last year and uses what little talent they have in the farm to improve or they deal Britton who still has 2 years of team control left, but is going to cost 8-10M in arb in 2017. Personally I think they need to trade Jones,Britton and Machado, because there's no way they're going to give Manny the absurd contract he's going to get in 2019 Man I love Machado. Lets get him and petition the league to add a middle fielder.
