New York Yankees fans have been waiting on an answer to the Manny Machado saga for much of the offseason. But now the writing is on the wall.
According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the Yankees appear to be completely out on Machado.
“The Yankees’ talks with Machado are either dormant or completely dead, and unless Machado accepts far less money from the Yankees than he might get elsewhere, Andujar will be back at third base,” Olney writes.
Despite Machado’s desire to play for New York, the feeling was not mutual. The Yankees always seemed lukewarm on the mercurial third baseman.
