According to this article at the team site:
"Yeah, why not? This is the organization I play for, this is the organization I love," Machado said. "This is the only organization I know. I'd definitely be interested in talking. We'll see what when that day comes."
What he ought to do is tell the team that signing an extension will depend on what the front office does to improve in the off-season; that they should come to him about it in late winter or early spring. That's likely to anger Angelos, who is rumored to believe employees, even elite employees, have no role in deciding organizational strategy. But if the players want to win, and I believe they do, then one or more of them need to put pressure on the front office.
