Good news, everyone, you only have 28 days at the most to hear about the possibility of Manny Machado being traded to the Cubs. Though if things continue on the fairly obvious trend that has been established ever since Theo Epstein called the Machado rumors an “outrageously outsized…spasm of media frenzy,” you may not hear much more about the Cubs’ involvement at all.
Well, at least not until November, when logs are going to be chucked into the hot stove ad infinitum as we wait to hear about the destinations of Machado and Bryce Harper.
