In the meantime, here's my reply to your PM - don't want to lose it.
IMO you aren't getting enough.
Miggy is the centrepiece, obviously. He is not enough for Machado. With Pedroia banged up, Miggy/Pedroia for Machado is probably my asking price. Which leaves a bunch of question marks for some very good talents in Walker/Correa.
Buccholz might not help you at all this year and Belisario has struggled. I'd want 2 guys who are performing well.
If you pull Correa out I still think you are giving up too much. You need to get 4 players who will be upgrades for you.
Would Miggy be a freeze? Pedroia seems overpriced. That might lessen my asking price a bit.
Bottom line, Buchholz/Belisario is too much risk. Ask for better players, scale down the deal, or look elsewhere.
