On MLB.com, Jim Duquette waxed poetically about where he envisions the Baltimore Orioles All-Star could land.
That landing place: New York. As in the Yankees.
That’s enough to make any Orioles fan throw up a little. But, the fact that Machado has not yet been extended gets wheels turning.
Machado in pinstripes? Please, no.
Jim Duquette considered the idea that Machado could be traded to the Yankees in exchange for Gleybar Torres, the top prospect in the MLB. Duquette’s reasoning is that the Yankees do not have a long-term third-baseman as Chase Headley is getting older.
