They aren't going after Machado, not with Bregman, Correa and Altuve on the IF. None of those guys is moving to 1b/DH.
It's hard to wrap your head around just how much money Philly is going to have for the foreseeable future. It's not impossible that they could sign BOTH guys. Even with Arrieta and Santana, their financial commitments for the future are pretty minimal. Nola's a long way from free agency as well.
Their cable deal is enormous and is just starting to ramp up. They absolutely have $100 million/yr to spend for the next 3-5 years if they want to spend it.
