Winter meetings, December 2017:

Baltimore trades 3B Manny Machado, 2017 stats: .312/.401/.544, 37 HR, 96 RBI, 8.7 WAR, finished 3rd in AL MVP voting
Machado accepted a one-year contract at $18 million to avoid arbitration and will be a free agent after the 2018 season if not signed.

St. Louis trades:
SP Jack Flaherty (STL #1 prospect, MLB #9 prospect using dynamic rankings, age 22), plus
SS Delvin Perez (STL #3 prospect, MLB #49 prospect, age 19), plus
CF Magneuris Sierra (STL #6 prospect, MLB #149 prospect, age 21)
plus one more unranked prospect from a list of about 12)

Would you make this trade if you were Baltimore? The Orioles were 78-84 (4th) in 2017 and their focus is neutral. They have a red dot for starting pitching (current and potential). Current budget room is $1 million but they have plenty of money for extensions.
