Free agent Manny Machado was reportedly made aware of the New York Yankees' decision to sign veteran shortstop Troy Tulowitzki before they did so.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Yanks informed Machado "days ago" that they intended to sign Tulo to a minimum contract in what they believe to be a "no-risk move."
Machado has reportedly already met with the Yankees in free agency, and he is considered the best player available, along with outfielder Bryce Harper.
