TAMPA — I think the Yankees made the right choice. Now, we begin learning if that is correct.
They did not sign Bryce Harper or Manny Machado. Both remain free agents. But short of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gleyber Torres falling off a treadmill together and all blowing out ACLs, we can assume Harper and Machado have a better chance of signing with the Yomiuri Giants or the San Francisco Giants than the New York Yankees.
For certain, pitchers and catchers will report Wednesday without the dream of many Yankees fans: Harper and/or Machado on the roster.
