6 years agoThe Baltimore Orioles have reportedly considered packaging shortstop Manny Machado and closer Zach Britton in trade offers. Their thought process is by included both players their prospect package received will increase. Machado's value will increase no matter where he is traded to, but Britton's inclusion would hurt his value. If Britton is no longer the closer then he is no longer worth owning in fantasy. If this type of deal were to occur, Britton would become a drop candidate whereas Brad Brach would see his value increase as Baltimore's, full-time closer.--Dan Fappiano
