With Machado going to SD, I'm curious how many wins that knocks off the Cubs' PECOTA projections...

Here's my issue with the #WhiteSox. They planned for two years for this very moment. They zero'd in on Machado, had little competition from any big team. Pumped themselves up through pressers, etc.

Then when it came down to it, they wouldn't pay him what was originally expected.
