The defense would be better with DeJong at SS and Machado at 3b because Machado is an exemplary defensive 3b but it would be more than adequate with Machado at SS and DeJong at 3b.
As for what it would take - I can't even proffer a guess at this point for one reason and one reason alone - Peter !@#$ing Angelos. That guy is such a wild card. I mean if he's being reasonable, something like Hudson, Kelly and one of our half-dozen superfluous outfielders should be more than enough. A guy like JAG would be ideal but if it took Arozarenas that would be steep but doable. Oscar Mercado has made him a bit superfluous especially if Bader has also turned a corner and can keep that kind of defense with solid O.
But good luck expecting Angelos to be reasonable. He's a nut.

id be in favor of Hudson/Kelly/AA OF for a 2 month rental of Manny. We’d be playoff contenders immediately. Move Dejong to 3B. Carp rotates playing 3B/1B/2B.
