ATLANTA (CBSNewYork/AP) — Flush with cash, the New York Yankees may take a run at Manny Machado.
But first, the slugging infielder would have some explaining to do.
Arriving in Atlanta for two days of owners meetings at a hotel next to the Braves’ SunTrust Park, Hal Steinbrenner discussed the state of a team that has one of baseball’s most dynamic young rosters but came up short in the playoffs the last two seasons.
The Yankees owner has plenty of money to spend after coming in under the luxury tax threshold last season for the first time since the penalty took effect in 2003.
